Use the Washi tape to create your guide lines for your lettering. You can split the phrase ‘Lets stay home’ across two lines by using one piece of Washi tape.

Using the tape as a guide, use your dark blue posca pen to write your first words above the strip of tape. 

So that the cup looks balanced, and using your tape as a guide, add ‘Home’ below as centrally as you can to the 'Lets Stay'.

Now you can begin with your floral pattern. Create ditsy florals with this simple 4 petal shape, try not to worry too much about it looking perfect.

Now work these floral shapes across the mug.

Using another colour, add your leaf shapes around the florals. These are similar to teardrop shapes and can be as big or small as you’d like.

Using the dark blue add dots to the middle of your florals.

Repeat the Washi tape as a guide for the words as they will be split between two lines the same as the previous design. 

Add your text. You can mix your lettering styles if you feel confident with the pens!

To create the garden around the words you’ll need to draw curved lines, then add teardrop shapes along the line to create foliage style illustrations.

Colour these in so that you have a full coloured foliage stem, and then work these motifs around your lettering so that you create a garland frame.

Add dots in another colour to give the impression of berries.

Leave the mugs dry for 24 hours. Once dry, place on an overproof dish and bake in the oven at 160 degrees for 40 minutes to secure the design. You can also use a clear varnish to help secure paint.
