I hope that you enjoy the cards, maybe you would like to join us sometime.  If you live too far away, that is not a problem; the cards are available in a kit.

Instructions:

  • Flip inked/scribbled plastic sandwich baggie over to set on top of the watercolor layer (inked side will now be facing down, touching watercolor wash so ink can spread). Smoosh the baggie around with your fingers to gently spread ink. Let dry thoroughly.
