Another idea: Make a birthday card

Step one
Paint the front of the card with one coat of Resene Art Action Quick Dry and allow to dry for two hours.

Step two
Paint the front of the card with two coats of Resene Get Reddy – make sure you allow two hours for each coat to dry

Step three
Paint a Christmas message on the front of the card using Resene Art Action glaze.

Step four
Before the Resene Art Action glaze starts to dry, sprinkle with silver glitter and leave for a minute or so. Shake off any excess glitter and leave to dry. How fantastic is that?
