These products can absolutely be used on any surface and that is the beauty of CADENCE.

So I hope you understand the basic nature of the product, Now I will detail out the steps how I have painted the Chester... Let's get started

First of all clear the base with dry clean cloth or tissue.
Now take your choice of very chalky color and paint the surface all over evenly.
You need to allow the base to completely dry before applying vintage legend. Its is best to naturally air dry the base or if you are impatient just like me use your heat gun.
Pick your choice of vintage legend shade, for my project I have picked blue, red and white. Now apply randomly blue color and red color and allow it to dry completely
Now I have taken white vintage legend and randomly brushed it on top of the blue and red color.
Finally I have decorated it with resin and mulberry flowers.
