THE DIRECTIONS:
- First things first – fold your blue cardstock in half. Straight up the center.
- Next open it back up and squirt a few lines of white paint squiggles with ON ONE SIDE before closing up the cardstock paper again.
- Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical “cloud” print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
- Now you are ready to open it back up to reveal the cloud design underneath.
- Grab ONE large yellow cupcake liner. Flatten it with your hands.
- Add some glue to the back of it and secure it to your painted cloud paper piece.
- Now grab some yellow cardstock paper and the scissors.
- Cut out some thin sunshine “rays” and glue them to the decorated piece as well.
- Once finished, add any other embellishments you like {maybe add a smile to the sun!}
- Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
- And of course – repeat as many times as you like! No two pieces will be the same and I think that’s what makes it even more fun!
