Speckled Snowflake Cards

Supplies Used:

• White paper snowflakes
• Tape
• Cardstock
• Blue paper
• Purple Koolaid "spray paint"
• Spray bottle
• Watercolor brush
• Watercolor paint set
• Water
• Glue stick

How we made the designs:

1. Fill a spray bottle with unsweetened colored Koolaid mix and water (or use food dye).
2. Lightly tape a snowflake onto cardstock.
3. Spray lightly with Koolaid dye.
4. Throughly wet a paint brush and use an index finger to flick a coordinating color of watercolor paint onto the snowflake and background, creating a splattered paint effect.
5. Allow snowflake to dry before removing it from the background.
6. Glue the snowflake onto a contrasting paper background.

This project was inspired by the following:

• Watercolour Spray Inks
• Watercolor Cross Cards
• DIY Pick Up Sticks Game: Colored Chopsticks
