How it is done:

For one card, cut a 6 cm wide strip from the Aqua Pad with a ruler and cutter.
Make two small cuts of about 2 cm at the top and bottom where the sparkler can be inserted later.
Dab the entire surface of the card thinly with fresh water and a brush. Be careful not to spread too much water on the surface so that the paper does not curl.
Then mix the colours of your choice on an old plate or mixing palette and dab the damp paper with the paint to create a gradient.
When the paint has dried well, the patterns and illustrations can be painted on top in the same shade with the smaller brush.
Finally, write short New Year's wishes on the card with the fineliner and insert the sparklers into the pre-cut tabs.
