STEP 1
Protecting your work space, lay out a piece of matte cardstock and mist it evenly
with Perfect Ink Refresher spray. (The
Perfect Ink Refresher will allow the paint to slide around on the paper.)
STEP 2
Prepare your paints by
putting a drop or two of water in the colors you wish to use.
Using a water brush or other paint brush, apply Twinkling
H2O paints to your paper.
Create a pattern or apply colors randomly.
STEP 3
Once your
painting is completed, spritz your cardstock with water.
