Note
The 2 cards to the left are what I’ll be demonstrating during the class. They use 2 red, 2 silver (can use aluminum foil), 1 dark purple, 1 light purple and 1 pink wrapper the approximate size you get with a Hershey's candy Kiss or Dove® Promises® chocolate pieces . If you don't have these colors, substitute whatever you can find and adjust your watercolor backgrounds to coordinate. |
