Waterproofing watercolour and ink cards
Cherylb5:
Hi everyone, may I know if there is a way to waterproof watercolour background as well as the ink used to write over the watercolour background? I have a couple of freshly-made watercolour cards which I am going to write my messages over with calligraphy ink. The watercolour background seemed to give me a sort of powdery finish. Is there a way to prolong the cards?

@AnasaziWrites : I'll search for the fixative spray at the local art supply stores. Thank you for your help!! :)

@Cherylb5 we have a new fixative that is made from milk casein and uses a pump spray - no nasty fumes!

@JohnNealBooks that is so great!! Those fumes can be so awful, and you can't always just go outside to use the spray.
