Remove the stencil, smooth any overly peaked areas and allow to dry.
Paint Entire Pot

Sand if desired and paint pot with the same colour you mixed with texture powder earlier. Allow this to dry for about 1-2 hours.
Apply Crackle Medium (optional)

Paint your pot with a contrasting colour and allow it to dry.
Distress
