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

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

4. Make sure you fill all the gaps with ink

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