Option 2 - Blot
Use a second piece of glossy card stock and lay
it face
down onto the first piece. Starting at a corner, slowly
pull the two pieces apart creating a more blended pattern.
For a wave-like pattern as shown in samples 2-1 and 2-2,
pull the top piece off more quickly and repeat in sections
as you work your way down the cardstock.
Lay each piece face up and let dry. Spray with sealer.

glossy cs if needed. The finished piece here is the matte card
stock.
