Begin by painting the ring and Santa face with a base coat.  I used the color Fluff from Dixie Belle Chalk Paint, but any white paint would work.

I like to use a makeup sponge when painting smaller cutouts.  When using this method, simply load your makeup sponge with paint and apply it to the surface in a pouncing motion.

First, cut the bottom portion of the transfer off the sheet.  Then, line up the Santa head and place it under the transfer area.

Now apply the red paste to the hat portion of the transfer.  I used a small precision tool to paint a line where the red paste will end and the black will start.

Peel back the transfer from where you just used the red paste.  Then lay it back down so you can add the rest of the details with black paste.

To add a little bit more character to Santa, I used some watered down peachy-colored paste to add a flesh tone to his face.
