Another idea: A cool turtle card

Step one
Fold the piece of cardboard in half, as shown.

Step two
Carefully cut out the Resene stencil – you might need a grown up to help with this bit.

Step three
Place the stencil onto the front of the card and hold in position with a few pieces of low tack masking tape.

Step four
Gently ‘stipple’ the paint over the stencil, taking care not to let paint seep under the edges. Carefully remove the stencil and allow the paint to dry. How cool is that?
