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.

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.
