Christmas cards

I usually buy the holiday editions of the Martha Stewart magazines. In this years Christmas special I saw some Christmas cards that looked easy and not too cheesy.

Martha Stewart made it sound a lot easier than it is. The way it was explained in the magazine was simply lay a branch down on top of green construction paper and coat with spray paint. I tried this, the power of the spray paint blew the branches all over the place and I could hardly see the imprint of the branch at all. So my advice would be the follow the following instructions:

you will need:
green construction paper
blank cards & envelopes
spray paint
glue
glitter glue
branches
pins


-cut green (or any colour) construction paper down to the size you want
-lay them out on a surface you don't mind getting spray paint on
-using straight pins pin down the branches (I used 3 to 5 per branch)
-coat them with spray paint

-after they dry you can glue them on to blank cards, I used white, next time I think I might try grey

-you could just leave the cards that way, I choose to add glitter to them

Now I just have to write on them!
