Fw: Papercut & Watercolor Holiday Card Demo
Topic: Art
papercut and watercolor holiday card

One of the cards i made at today's demo. Make up some sheets of card stock by painting random watercolor washes. Let dry while you make the papercuts. They can be as simple as a triangle tree connected to a frame. This one is a creature a bit like a deer, and is actually the cut away part of the papercut!

Just saute in a bit of olive oil, potatoes first. Set them aside when done. Then do the beans. (Potatoes get covered while cooking but not the beans.) Mix together with a touch of vinegar, sprinkled and tossed.
