Looking at the sides, I thought a nice brass rim around the edge of the windows would look good, but it would need to be perfect.
It occurred to me that maybe I could run a bow pen around, with the corner of the card in between the jaws. This would keep it consistent.
With no idea how this would work, I loaded it with neat Darkstar Molten Metal Brass, and had a go. After all, if it went wrong, I could wipe away my shame, and slap some red on top. No one would be any the wiser.
And you know what? It worked perfectly. I was able to trace around the edges easily, and the acrylic paint flowed perfectly. I'm quite pleased with this!
