Butterfly Birthday Cards- Tarjetas de Felicitación Maripositas

We have two little girls birthdays coming up soon so I thought a handmade card from Croc would be better than a bought one.

I went for a butterfly theme, and cut out a templete for him to decorate.
As he seems to love squirting paint more than brushing it, I knew he´d like the part of just squirting it on and folding it in two.

Como Croc estaba invitado a un par de cumpleaños en las próximas semanas, Ruth decidió preparar con él unas tarjetas de felicitación que siempre son más personales que unas compradas (ver cuentos del Rey  Rollo).
Primero usando un molde de repostería cortaron la forma de las alas.
Como le encanta apretar los botes para que salga un buen chorro de pintura, eso es lo que le toco hacer y luego doblando las alas en dos se consiguen dibujos simétricos.


I was quite surprised when he went for "more is less" and just used 2 colours at a time(The 4 colour one was my demo!!).  He had lots of colours to chooose from and I was expecting him to use all of them.

Croc usó solo 2 colores, parece que decidió los que quería y se ciñó a ellos. Mientras su madre fue a lo más complejo y usó todos los posibles...



Whilst they were drying I cut up some furry pipe cleaners and twisted them togther.  The next day Croc glued them on and arranged them on the card.
Mientras se estaban secnado cortaron unos alambres con colores y los ernroscaron uno sobre el otro para hacer el cuerpo y antenas.

Por fin, firmando sus obras de arte
