By Sue Dix

Materials Required:

Mulberry paper: Deep

Red, White, Peach and

Yellow.

Black paper: 9cm x 17cm

and 14cm x 19cm.

Thin Red card

11cm x 16.3cm: KA015C.

A fine paintbrush and a

large soft paintbrush.

Tracing paper and a

fine black pen.

Blue carbon paper.

Polythene sheet or small

food bag.

Clean rags or fabric scraps.

Craft knife and cutting mat.

To Make The Card:

Place the tracing paper over

the reversed diagram below

and keep in place with a little

masking tape to prevent any

movement whilst you are work-

ing. Trace over all the outlines

using the fine black pen.

Carefully remove the

masking tape from the tracing

paper and magazine. Place the

tracing face up over the smaller

piece of black paper. Slip the

blue carbon paper between the

tracing paper and the black

paper making sure it is inky

side down.

Masking tape.

Deckle edged scissors.

Glue stick and Plexi glue.

Card mount: SF01U Deep Red.

Actual Size

Ta p e t h e edges

of the papers to

keep them togeth-

er. Retrace over

the lines pressing

firmly so the ink

is transferred to

the black paper

beneath. Remove

the tracing and

carbon papers.

Actual Size

Place the black

paper on the cut-

ting mat and cut

out the design as

marked using a

sharp craft knife.

Put the cut design

aside for later.

Place the deep

red mulberry

paper over the diagram on the right, you will be

able to see the lines through the paper. Draw the

outermost shape onto the paper. Next place the

white mulberry over the diagram and draw the

orange shape onto it. Draw the peach shape onto

the peach paper and the yellow shape onto the

yellow paper. Cut out all four shapes.

Press each colour of the sunset with a warm

iron, the painted piece should be placed between

some clean rags or scraps of fabric to protect it

whilst ironing.

Use a glue stick for mulberry paper, runny

glues can soak in and may show through the

paper. Glue the deep red paper onto the red

piece of card, positioning the top frayed edge

close to the top and centrally side to side. Glue

the orange, peach and then yellow onto this

keeping them central to the deep red paper

and with the lower edges aligned.

Place the silhouette onto the piece of red card

and check that they are exactly the same width

along the grassy area, the tree tops are not

important. If not, they will only be out by a mil-

limetre or two, trim whichever is larger to size.

The curve

on each shape

needs to be

frayed to give

it a soft feath-

ery edge, leave

the base edge

straight.

Lightly damp-

en round the

curved edge of

one piece then

gently pull bits away from the edge as shown.

Make sure any strands in the frayed edge are

laying nicely and leave aside to dry. Repeat the

process with the remaining three pieces.

With the silhouette still reversed (i.e. with the

inked side up) paint the surface with plexi glue

using a fine paintbrush. Turn the silhouette over

and place it onto the red card aligning the sides

and the lower edges and pressing firmly until it

is stuck.

Using the fine black pen draw as many birds

as desired onto the background card and the

mulberry paper sunset.

Cut the edges of the remaining piece of black

paper using deckled scissors, after cutting it

should measure approx. 13cm x 18cm. Glue this

onto the card mount using the glue stick and

glue the finished design centrally onto this.

The white paper needs painting orange, to do

this the whole piece of mulberry paper needs to

be wet and then laid out on a piece of polythene,

a food bag or any polythene sheet will do. Take a

little acrylic paint, thin it with a little water and

using a large soft brush apply the paint from the

centre outward. This will help to ensure the

frayed edge stays neatly arranged. Leave to dry

completely and then peel the paper away from

the polythene starting with the straight edge.
