Cut a 6”x4¼” white cardstock. Place the chevron stencil over it centered. Start at one end, and begin with a Grape Gelato. Scribble about 1” on the stencil. Use the Art Dauber to blend the color into the spaces of the stencil. Next use a Blueberry Gelato to color another 1” space, and blending a little over the Grape. Use the same technique to color with Lime, Lemon, Tangerine, & Red Cherry. Blending over a little of the previous color each time. Wash the stencil, and then place back over the paper this time covering the chevrons you just colored, and exposing the white. Color over the entire paper with Buttercream. Blend the color in with the Dauber. Remove the stencil and wash it again. If there are any large areas of white, you can use the dauber to blend in a little more Butter Cream. Glue to the card front.
