Reverse Painted Pumpkin Plate

Reverse Painted Plate by Candace Jedrowicz

It's day 6 of Smeared and Smudged Forum's 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop!  This has been so much fun, hopping and commenting AND I thank everyone for the awesome comments you've give me! 
Below are all the fabulous bloggers:

Last year C2C's Tiffany Windsor shared a Christmas Ornament Reverse Painted Plate and Candace J fell in love with it! In Candace's mind that technique could lead to fabulous possibilities! First stop: Halloween! Materials: Glass Plate Glass Paints - Purple, black, orange, turquoise and green Black puffy paint
Choose a design you like and tape it face down on the front of the place.
Turn the plate over and trace the outline of your image with the black puffy paint.I added a freehand design around the edge. You're welcome to use it if you like. Allow to dry.
Pain in the sections with the glass paints.If you plan to do any shading or highlighting, you'll want to do that first. I added yellow to the orange for highlights and darkened the orange for shading. You don't have to be precise painting, if you paint over the puffy paint lines, it won't show. You may need three or more coats to make the colors opaque.
Paint black on the back of the plate after the colors have dried. It gives it a finished look.
