Because I did not trust myself to not paint where I didn't want there to be paint, I created a stencil using scotch tape with the design drawn on. I then used scissors to cut out the unwanted parts for the stencil. This was a bit tricky using scissors, but it worked extremely well for the painting process. I applied several layers of blue, purple, and orange-yellow to apply a solid colorful flame to the final product made for players that love Super Smash Bros.
