A Christmas Card with an Angel in Watercolour

Draw an angel from a template and fill in with Neocolor II water-soluble wax crayons from Caran d'Ache. Brush water over the colours to make them flow together. Fix the finished image onto a piece of black card and mount onto the folded Christmas card.

How to do it
1. Print the template with angel designs, available as a separate PDF file for this idea. Shade the back of the print with a soft pencil, then place the shaded area facing down on top of the watercolour paper – the angel print is facing up.
2. Draw the outline of the angel clearly onto the watercolour paper using a black marker.
3. Colour in the angel with the Neocolor II water-soluble wax crayons from Caran d'Ache.
4. The wax crayons give a watercolour effect and flow together when brushed over with a brush dipped in water.
5. Tear the watercolour along the edges to size 9.5 x 15cm. Cut a piece of black card measuring 11.5 x 16.5 cm. Assemble the two pieces with double-sided adhesive tape and attach to the front of the folded Christmas card.
