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.
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.
A print is made from the shaded area onto the watercolour paper when copying the printed angel along the outlines. Use the same pencil but sharpen it.
Draw the outline of the angel clearly onto the watercolour paper using a black marker.
Colour in the angel with the Neocolor II water-soluble wax crayons from Caran d'Ache.
The wax crayons give a watercolour effect and flow together when brushed over with a brush dipped in water.
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.
