Paint Dot Spring Cards

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So guess which rabbit got the pleasure of babysitting the, ahem, enthusiastic Millie Pig today? Me (Roberta)! Fortunately, Millie totally loves me – so she never gives me the same kind of trouble that she gives Molly. Millie just wanted to make crafts all afternoon, so it was fun for both of us. One of the best crafts? Q-tip blossom cards. Check them out!

 

How did we do it? Easy! Here’s what you need:

Acrylic paint in a variety of colors, Q-tips, cardstock folded like a card

 

What we did:

  1. I poured the paint into shallow dishes. I showed Millie how to dip the Q-tip into the paint, and dab it onto the card.
  2. Continue dabbing to make a blossom. Don’t be afraid to layer colors!
  3. When your blossoms are done, let the paint dry.
  4. Draw on stems and maybe a vase.

 

We made the cards for Mother’s Day (Millie likes to give cards to her grandmothers on that day as well, so she made three). It was a ton of fun!

    That’s really nice of Millie to give cards to her grandmothers too. After all, grandmothers were once mothers, you know! ;-)
