When you’ve completed all the other painted areas, paint the Royal Blue background. Apply the paint in a swirling squiggle; this create a bumpy texture when it dries. (Don’t comb the background paint or you’ll destroy the texture, but do tap it.)
Fill the background completely with paint; don’t leave any unpainted areas. Apply as little paint as possible while still covering the surface completely. Remember, all areas should be painted before you tackle the background.
Leave the project to dry for eight to 12 hours, or until all painted areas are transparent and clear of milky shadows. Be careful where you put the project while it dries, as you don’t want anything to touch the surface or dust to blow onto it. Do not allow paper, fabric or other such materials to touch or cover the painted surface before it is totally dry as it’ll mess up the paint.
