I have a pair of old wooden stools in need of some TLC; I used one in this challenge. After a light sanding, I painted the top with 3 coats of Testors black chalkboard paint; it covered well and went on like a dream. Once the paint was dry and the butterfly stencil was in place, I used the Imagine Shimmer Green and Blue to spray within the stencil; I pounced on Testors purple violet paint in the perimeter of the stencil; it's kinda hard to see in the photo, but in life it appears darker than the Shimmer Blue.

I removed the stencil and, using dotting tools, began adding LOTS of different size dots of acrylic paint. Once the first layer of paint dots dried, I added smaller dots atop the orig. dots; I did this two, three and/or four more times, each time adding smaller dots atop the previous dots. The final, smallest dots I made using the Testors white paint pen; that was easy!

I taped off the top of the stool and sprayed the upper parts of the legs and underside of the seat with 2 coats of Imagine Shimmer Champagne. I used 2 coats of the Chrome Silver for the lower parts of the legs. My favs. in the kit were the Champagne & Silver Shimmer paints. The legs needed some definition/grounding, so I added Testors black craft paint between the Champagne & Silver.

Finally, I prepared to pour Parks Super Glaze epoxy resin over the top of the seat. I taped off the perimeter underside of the seat with painter's tape, placed a trash bag over the legs and taped it to the painter's tape that I just applied; this will keep the resin from getting onto the underside of the seat and the legs (I made sure to protect the floor, too). I mixed up the resin, being careful to exactly follow the directions, and I poured it over the seat, letting it self-level and allowing the extra to drip off. I absolutely love the glassiness of this epoxy resin!
