Supplies Needed:
Matte cardstock
Twinkling H2Os
Waterbrush or watercolor paint brush
Perfect Ink Refresher (Ranger)
Water in a mister or

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.
