Step 2 |
Remove the protective mat cover from your card mat, slide the backside of your card under the plastic divider and align the card from the top left corner of the plastic divider. Close the card and press firmly to adhere. |
Step 3 |
Cut and draw using your Cricut® cutting machine. Cut first, then insert your watercolour marker when prompted. |
Step 4 |
To prepare the water brush included with your markers, fill it with tap water and gently squeeze over a paper towel until bristles are damp. |
Step 5 |
Now, trace along the inside edge of the drawn marker lines, pulling colour down by dampening paper with water brush. Adjust the flow of water and amount of blending by squeezing the brush with more or less pressure. Allow your card to dry completely and then blend again to see different watercolour effects. |
