Step-by-step

Step 1

Pick your favourite colours – there are up to 26 to choose from, including glossy metallic shades. If you prefer, you can first sketch the outline of the Christmas tree using a pencil. The flexible tube contains acrylic paste and has two different nozzles. For the Christmas trees, open the wide end and draw a zig-zag pattern in the shape of a Christmas tree on the card.

Step 2

Let the acrylic paste dry thoroughly before using the fine acrylic marker in black or another suitable colour to add your Christmas greetings. Using the narrow end of the 3D double liner, it’s really easy to create effective drip patterns that look like a shiny pearl necklace. These can be seen here on the card with the wreath.
