Step 1:

¼ inches.

Mount the More Mustard cardstock on top of

the Ruby Red card base.

Step 4:

Cut a piece of watercolor paper at 3 ¾ x 5

inches.

Step 5:

On a piece of scrap paper, squirt two blobs of

white acrylic or white gesso paint.

Step 6:

Squirt two or three drops of Ruby Red re-inker

on one of the blobs of white paint and two to

three drops of More Mustard re-inker on the

other blob of white paint.

Step 7:

Using a paint brush,

mix the re-inker and

paint together.

Starting with one

color first, paint

blotches onto the

watercolor paper.

Leave gaps for the

second color.

Step 8:

Paint blotches of the second color on the

watercolor paper. It’s okay to leave some

white spaces.

NOTE: Be liberal with your paint, as

you’ll want some extra on your paper to

move around later.

Step 9:

Tear a piece of plastic wrap off the roll,

making sure it’s about twice the size of your

watercolor paper.

Wad the plastic wrap up a bit and place it

directly onto the paint.

Step 10:

Move the plastic wrap around so that it

blends the paint together slightly. Leave

the plastic wrap on the paper while the

paint dries. DON’T smooth the plastic

wrap out. This is what gives the paint it’s

textural pattern once it’s dry.

Allow the paint some time to dry. Don’t

use your heat gun on the plastic wrap, as

it will melt it.

Step 11:

Once the paint is pretty dry, pull the plastic

wrap away.

Step 12:

If your paint is still a little tacky, use your

heat gun to help speed up the drying

process. You’ll need the paint completely

dry for the next step.
