- Trace leaf patterns on shelf paper and cut out the leaf silhouettes. Remove backing from the leaf shapes and adhere to eggs.
- Brush 3-4 coats of Blushing, Moonlight, Baby Blues and Sweet Dreams to four of the eggs and Marshmallow Crème to two of the eggs. Let dry. Remove stencils.
- To the eggs painted with Marshmallow Creme, inside the leaf design, brush 3-4 coats Minted on one egg and 3-4 coats Dreamsicle in the leaf of the second egg.
- To the remaining four colored eggs, brush 3-4 coats of Marshmallow Crème inside the leaf silhouettes. Let dry.
