- Use a #10 flat brush and Almond to fill in the entire scroll. Rinse brush.
- Use a #2 round brush and Pink Cadillac to fill in the roses following the contour of each petal. Using the same brush, add a very small amount of Lipstick to Pink Cadillac and use the mix to shade roses. Rinse brush.
- Use a #2 round brush and Black Tie to fill in the rays behind the heart. Rinse brush.

- Use a #2 round brush and Black Tie to outline everything. Rinse brush.
