Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Fill a bowl or container with tap water.

   

2. Step 2

   With a light color of Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink, touch the applicator to the water's surface to create circles of pigment.

   Immediately remove paper and set on mat to dry - do not blot.

   

8. Step 8
