High up in the dark night sky, under the stars but over a skyline of skyscrapers, are an explosion of cupcake liner fireworks. With a base of black paint over a blue wax-coated paper plate, when a white pen is used to make the buildings some of the paint comes off with it. This shows just a bit of blue underneath, leaving a really neat effect. The perfect scene for cupcake liner fireworks!

Again, if yours has a wax coating, which you will need to get the effect ours has but a plain white plate will still look amazing. But with the wax coating, make sure the paint dries completely so it doesn’t just simply wipe off when working with it.

For our white marker, we press the marker tip to get more paint. In doing so, we can tap it to create a paint splatter starry sky through the buildings. Or simply make dots with the marker or paint pen.
