Instructions:

On back of plate, find center and draw crossing lines to divide plate into quarters.

On inside of plate, arrange stencils to spell out types of pie in each quarter. Place decorative stencil in center of plate.

Place etchall® Creme into Designer Tip Kit, apply creme to each stencil. Let set 15 minutes. Wash to clean. (*Note - etchall® Creme is re-usable, it can be returned to the bottle and used repeatedly; however, since I used such a small amount of creme on these stencils, I simply washed to remove it).

Use capital M stencil to etch MMM… on inside sides of plate were each line ends.

Paint fruit with fine paint brush and Gloss Enamels® paints on outside sides of plate above each type of pie. Add decorative dots of paint around center etched image on back of plate. Cure paint by following manufacturer instructions.

Use a damp cloth to buff off marker from back of plate.
