Step-by-step
Step 1
Cut out the cards to the right size for folding, or buy pre-made cards. Sketch the baubles with the aid of the compass to ensure they are all the same size. Trace over the lines with the edding 1800 fineliner.
Step 2
Mix colours any way you want using the Brushpen Colour Mixer from the Colour Happy Box. We recommend testing the results on a piece of scrap paper first, to make sure you get the effect you want for your cards.
Step 3
Colour in the baubles to your heart’s content; you can make just about any colour combination. The tip of the brushpen is ideal for drawing fine lines. The words “Merry Xmas” (or whatever Christmas greeting you choose) can look very effective if you vary the stroke width.
