Thinking of You on Your Birthday

Vary the application from light to heavy, overlapping the two colors. Add some Worn Lipstick ink randomly along the border of the card topper, overlapping the Broken China ink in some areas. Wipe off excess with a paper towel.

Blend areas together with subtle color as needed. Wipe off excess. Color the small dotted heart with a heavy application of Broken China ink, then add Worn Lipstick over the top for a purple color. Wipe off the excess. Color the small heart heavily with Worn Lipstick, then lightly blend a bit of Broken China ink over the top. Wipe off the excess.
