Day by day and we reached day 11 of Blank Christmas Cards Advent Countdown with Kids!Dots and Flakes Christmas card is a combination of several art techniques and it’s really fun to layer, paint, collage, draw and add to the card to see how it changes with each new added element and see how final result is so much different than what it was at the beginning.
Hope you will have as much fun creating this card as my kids had! |

Supplies we used to create Dot and Flakes Christmas card are:
- watercolors (any will do!)
- colored cardstock for a card
- watercolor paper
- white crayon
- black sakura pen 0.8
- glue
- white correction pen
| For start, kids made watercolor resist snowflakes – we first draw snowflakes on white paper using white crayons. Then painted over complete paper with black watercolor. When it was dry, my daughter cut out circles around snowflakes. She glued snowflakes on grey paper, cut it in circle again, than glued everything together on white paper and, once again, cut in circle. Next, she glued these layered snowflakes on card we prepared in advance. |

To finish card, she draw dots using black sakura pen and white correction pen as shown on picture. Use this kind of drawing to teach kids a bit about contrast colors.
