Let’s Make an Owl Card!
Step 1: Color in the owl card elements with a favorite medium
This is a great opportunity to have a play with different mediums and practice blending techniques.
The cards can be colored in ordinary crayons or coloring pencils.
If your Arty Crafty Kids fancy trying something different; watercolor pen brushes are great fun to try. Soft pencil pastels will also work beautifully with the design.
Color in the owls and circular base.
Step 2: Cut out the template elements and fold the rocking base in half
Fold the circle in half with the design side visible – this will ensure the circle is folded correctly.
Step 3: Glue the owls along the folded sky line
Step 4: Unfold the card and write a special greeting
The owl card is ready to rock!
