DIY Cheers Celebration Card
Step 1: Draw your champagne glass shape
This card will feature a beautiful champagne tower so let’s start at the center. Pencil in your champagne glass shape and trace carefully using the MONO Drawing Pen 02. This pen draws really delicate lines that creates delicate illustrations.
Draw slowly as the watercolor paper will have a slight texture and drawing slowly will ensure your lines are smooth. Repeat this champagne glass shape, till you have a tower shape.
Step 2: Use the Brush Tip to Apply Color
The Tombow Dual Brush Pens have a unique brush tip that makes applying marker color to paper very easy. You can add a little color or a lot of color by varying the pressure. You can also mix colors by applying two colors onto the paper and then painting with water over the marker color.

Step 3: Enjoy Watercoloring your card
Once you have your champagne tower drawn and colored, it is time to add details to emulate the celebrate emotion! Draw a circle around the tower, this will add interest to the focal point. Next start adding small stars, dots and shimmers all around the card.
Step 4: Cheers!
Add a “Cheers” to your card and draw in more details as needed. One of the most symbolic ways to celebrate is to raise a toast with your friends and family and this card is a fun artistic way of bringing that feeling to life.
