The last time we visited Stanley, he had received his primary colors – Gloss Purple for the top and Gloss Turquoise for the underside. Gloss Ivory was used as a base coat for Stanley’s Scales & Spikes. Next steps Metallic Apple Red applied over Ivory on the Scales & Spikes. Also, added on the top of the body. Cobalt Blue Metallic for the Claws and Maui Blue for the Eyes using Artist Brushes.
Again, using Artists Brushes the Gloss Purple is applied to create a more natural blending with the Turquoise and Metallic Red. Midnight Black Metallic is used for the Pupils of the Eyes. The Metallic will give Stanley a sparkle in his Eyes.
We finished excavating the “Dig It Up! Dinosaur Eggs. We have fun with this activity during the Easter Season. However, this craft is fun anytime of the Year! The local See’s Candies has reopened with phone orders only and pickup outside the store with social distancing practices. Specialty Easter treats are half off while supplies last. Check Your Local See’s for open status & special offers.
