You will need 

Graph'It Markers (three colours makes a good mix)

Mix It Spray

Tim Holtz Ink Applicator and Felt 

Photo Paper - Glossy or Satin finish (I used Satin finish)

1. Using the chisel tip of your marker, dab ink randomly onto the felt

2. Take your second colour and dab the felt

3. Take your third colour and continuing dabbing

4. Make sure you fill all the gaps with ink

5. Liberally spray the inked felt with Mix'It Spray
