-
Fill your container halfway with water. Using an eyedropper, add a few drops of paint in different colors to the water. Swirl the colors with a toothpick or stick.
-
Drop a blank card on the water. After a second or two, carefully lift the card straight up and set it aside to dry on newspaper or paper towels.
-
When it's completely dry, if the card curls, place it beneath a heavy book for a couple of days to flatten the edges.
-
- Tips:
- You may want to clear the water between card dips by dragging a toothpick through the water.
