Artistic greeting cards are making a big comeback, and you’re just in time to join the fun! In this session, you’ll create a set of four unique greeting cards using vibrant acrylic ink or acrylic paints. Each card will feature an abstract design that’s so beautiful, you’ll want to frame it! Whether for a special occasion or just because, you’ll leave with one-of-a-kind cards that are as personal as they are creative.
