Coloured Background with Black and White Decal Card

A project from our live show CATCH UP with Toni for the CREATIVE SHOW LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 17th Dec 21 · 17/12/2021

Create a striking card by layering a hand-painted coloured background with navy and teal spray inks, then add a black and white decal of a fairy design. The result is a beautiful mixed-media card with both stamped and transferred elements.
