I thought these silhouette trees were so pretty that we just had to try the technique. Rather than trees, we made snowflakes. I cut some strips of painters' tape and Eva helped design some simple snowflakes on a sheet of cardstock. Then we mixed up two colors of paint- purple and turquoise (Eva's two most favorite colors)- with a little water and some glitter. Eva then painted all over the paper.
When the paint dried, we peeled off the tape and discovered the beautiful snowflakes we had created!
They are hanging near our calendar and I love how the glitter sparkles in the sun.
Love this! Going to do this tomorrow during our trip to the Artic!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great! Love the addition of the glitter.
