Another easy technique!

You will make 2 ATCs for one partner from the background that you do first.

Materials:
Watercolour paper, not too thick, A5 size approx.
2 lots of watery paint- either watercolour or acrylic. Use colours that won't make mud when mixed eg
red & blue, yellow & blue, red & yellow, orange & yellow, purple & red, purple & blue, green & blue.
Plastic drinking straws.

Instructions:
Mix the paints you are going to use.
"Pick up" some paint using the straw and drop it onto the paper.
Use the straw to blow the paint- you can turn the paper and go in different directions.
Use both colours, continuing to make designs by blowing the paint around.
The colours can overlap and blend- that's ok.

LET IT DRY

When dry, cut 2 ATCs from the sheet- 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches
Leave one as it is- you will send this one as well as the next one.
Maybe you will "see" something in the design that you made.
So, use paint, crayons, coloured pencils or even ink to make it stand out. If you don't, use it as the background for your own embellishment.

So wish I could have joined in this one sounds like lots of fun. Missing not being well enough to join in at the moment. Really hope this one gets done again maybe later in the year :-)
