    2. Instruction #1
    3. Paint the heart frame in Berry Red and the base in Lamp Black.
    4. Instruction #2
    5. While the heart is still wet, apply Alizarin Crimson with a 1/2" flat brush to the inside left and outside right of the heart, blending as needed.
    6. Instruction #3
    7. Paint the heart backing Light Buttermilk. While it is still wet, make a rough outline of the heart with a small amount of Alizarin Crimson, creating a pink shadow. Use the DecoArt Personally Yours Urban Ink Sea Dog Stencil to apply a monogram on the backing with Lamp Black and a cosmetic sponge.
    8. Instruction #4
    9. Inside the monogram, apply Alizarin Crimson to the top left portion with a small round brush, leaving a diamond shape left untouched. While it is still wet, apply Snow White at the top left corner and blend into the Alizarin Crimson.
