Create a collaged Christmas Card that takes inspiration from Australian flora and fauna. The design should incorporate warm and cool colours so that the layered shapes contrast one another.
Aussie Collage Cards
Step 1
Dilute Eco Dye colours with water to desired strength. Use primary colours (red, yellow and blue) to mix secondary colours.
Step 2
Cut enough Mineral Paper into A5 pieces for each student to have one piece each, with some spare to share (for a cheaper alternative use PD103 Bleedproof Paper).
Step 3
Paint Eco Dye on one half of an A5 piece of Mineral Paper or Bleedproof Paper – use warm colours. Paint the other half with the cool colours. Allow colours to mix and blend on the paper. Blot off colour with a tissue to create interesting textures.
TIP. If you need more of one colour wave for your design, paint more of the paper to meet your requirements. Allow to dry.
Step 4
If natural colours are needed, mix all Eco Dye primary colours.
Step 5
Cut out shapes from the painted paper.
OPTION. Add pieces of torn Glitter Paper onto a card, like a collage, to create a background.
Step 6
Glue the shapes to the card with a Glue Stick.
