Credit cards a good for many things, like shopping,
but more importantly: PRINTING!
Your old credit card or any bit of stiff plastic or card can be used.
1. Using pigments, paint your fabric in a pale colour
Colour Vie is ideal (www.colourvie.com)
2. While the first coat is still wet, paint over it with a darker hue.
3. Use the credit card to remove some of the top layer of colour.
4. ENJOY!
