Water-Reactive Ink Bleached Floral Card with Sparkle

A project from our live show CREATE TOGETHER CLUB - Show 2 - Join Toni - Broadcast 29th March 22 · 03/29/2022

Create a vibrant, artistic card by applying water-reactive ink directly to white cardstock, then using a water-spritzed stamp to bleach out a lifted floral image. The effect is magical and contemporary, finished with clear sparkle pen accents.
