Procedure

Step 1

Find a photograph of a model in a fashion magazine that fits the size of the card and cut it out. Cut of the head, hands, legs and accessories and stick the picture onto the card. Then using a pencil, sketch in the "new outfit". Using stencil or coin, cut circles around the figure or, as shown here, in the clothing.

 

Step 2

Paint the areas of the dress with Art GRIP Aquarelle 133.

 

Step 3

Apply a wash to the area with brush and water and then allow to dry.

 

Step 4

Using Art GRIP Aquarelle 119, colour in half the circles and apply wash. Allow to dry.

 

Step 5

Using Art GRIP Aquarelle 166, colour in the remainder of the circles and apply wash. Allow to dry.

 

Step 6

Stick down newspaper cutting(s).

 

Step 7

Using PITT artist pen 167, put small dots around the green circles and draw spirals in the remaining circles with PITT artist pen 118. Draw 13 circles on a suitable envelope, colour in with Art GRIP Aquarelle and apply wash. After drying, apply decorative touches as in the dress and write in the letters of HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
