How to do it
- 1
Cut or use a pre-cut circular canvas/thick paper as your card base.
- 2
Squeeze several colors of acrylic paint in lines across the center of the canvas.
- 3
Hold a stiff card or scraper at an angle and drag it across the paint to spread and blend the colors into a cake-like shape.
- 4
Add glitter paint dots at the top as candle flames.
- 5
Once dry, use a marker to write 'Happy Birthday' and sign your name, then present it to your loved one.
Tips & extensions
Let the paint dry fully before writing the message so the marker glides cleanly over the surface without smearing.
