Difficulty level: Easy

You will need: Artists’ paintbrush, MDF butterfly shape (ours came from ‘Spotlight’), Paper plate, Primed artists’ board PVA glue, Resene Crackle Effect, Resene Testpots in the following colours: Resene Balloon, Resene Malibu, Resene Pulse and Resene Resolution Blue, Small piece of polystyrene

Top tip: If you don’t have an MDF shape, you can always make your own out of thick cardboard.

Here's another idea: This fluffy duck painting was made using Resene Crackle Effect with Resene Paua, Resene Supernova and Resene Tree Frog.

Another idea: Fluffy ducks

Step one
Stick the piece of polystyrene onto the back of the MDF shape and allow the glue to dry.

Step two
Paint the artists’ board with two coats of Resene Malibu, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step three
Paint the board with one coat of Resene Crackle Effect and allow to dry.

Step four
Apply one coat of Resene Resolution Blue and allow two hours to dry.

Step five
Pour a little Resene Pulse onto a paper plate and dip the butterfly stamp into the paint. Carefully stamp five butterfly shapes onto the board and allow two hours to dry.

Step six
Paint in some pattern on each wing with Resene Balloon and allow to dry. That’s so neat!
