Supplies: 9x12" mat board (or stretched canvas), gesso, acrylic paint, scrapbook paper (1 sheet per collage), mod podge and brushes (I used a 1" flat brush)
To make: coat both sides of mat board with gesso (omit if using pre-coated stretched canvas), let dry. Paint front of board with acrylic in background color of choice, let dry.
Prepare 1 sheet of paper to be cut by first folding it in half and then folding it in half again. |
Then fold the paper into a triangle along a line diagonal from corner to corner. |
Then fold the triangle in half |
Make a decorative cut through all layers of paper as shown |
Add cuts along edge |
Unfold and smooth out fold lines with a bone tool |
Add a layer of mod podge to the background board, lay paper on top and smooth down - starting in the middle and working out to edges. Cover with a light layer of mod podge. |
