Step 1) Paint the surface
Step 3) Apply the plaster
You can apply the Embossing Plaster as thinly or thickly as you like. Just remember that the plaster will crack if applied too thickly, which might even add to the effect, but it's something to keep in mind. Here, we're using a clean spatula to remove the excess plaster so that it's applied in the same thickness as the stencil.
Step 4) Remove and clean your stencil
Step 5) Let it dry
Step 7) Finish your project
