you'll need Materials
- Watercolour paper

Directions
- Don your smock. Tape the edges of your page to your work surface (half on, half off to create a border). You could do this to your tray or onto a plastic table cloth.
- Tape your doily to your page.
- Spray over top of the doily, being sure not to saturate it.
- Carefully remove the doily and the tape border, revealing the heart created by the space that was covered- a negative image!

Safety Notes
- We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.
