Trace your chosen image using a graphite
technical pencil. Roll out flower paste,
ensuring that you have enough to transfer
the image on to. Turn over your image so
that the freshly drawn side is against the
flower paste. Trace the image again over
the top to transfer a faint outline on to
the flower paste. Using a craft knife, cut
carefully around your image on a cutting
mat. Repeat the process for the sunglasses.Transfer Designs and

the covered cake board, airbrush on
medium mode 3-4” inches away from the
surface around the edges of your covered
cake board, turning your turntable at the
same time to ensure an even covering.
Lightly add colour using your airbrush on
minimum mode and pulling the trigger
back gently, so that it dries instantly. Place
your stencil on top of your board and
airbrush lightly, no more than 2” inches
away from the stencil, on one of the lower
modes so that you do not saturate the
stencil and cause any bleeding of colour.

the plaque.Tip – be careful not to saturate your stencil
with colour as this can cause bleeding.
