 How to create a watercolor effect with Cricut Infusible Ink Pens

Did you know that you can create a soft watercolor effect using Cricut Infusible Ink Pens?

Here is how:

1. Choose a design on design space that is a drawing.
2. Draw the design on copy paper using a black Infusible Ink Pen
3. Using a very fine paint brush, brush a very light coting on a section of the image that you want to color, like for instance one petal of a flower.  Do not completely drench the paper, as it is copy paper and will tear very easily.
4. Now color the section that you want darkest, with your darker shade of pen, like the center part of the flower.  
5. Using your wet paint brush, lightly drag the color away from the center.  It will get lighter.
6. Now use your lighter shade to color the outer side of your petal, and again, using your damp paint brush, drag the color around to blend.
7. Once all petals are done, let your design dry completely.  It should not have any moisture at the time of infusion.
8. Once your design is dry, press it to your substrate according to directions for the Cricut Infusible Pens and your press that you use.
