Super Dad Fathers Day Card
       
  How To Make
       
 

1. Very lightly sketch the shape of your 'Super Dad' onto some watercolour paper using a pencil. Then fill in the details with watercolour paints, using the picture as a guide.

2. Start by painting an oval flesh coloured shape for the face. Leave to dry. Then add some flicks of brown paint for the hair. Leave to dry.

3. To create the body, start by painting a larger oval blue shape and add two blue 'stick' shapes for the legs and another two blue 'stick' shapes for the arms. Remember to leave a small unpainted space in your oval shape. Use the picture as a guide. Leave to dry.

4. Next add a splash of red paint for the cape. Leave to dry.

5. Add a small circle of flesh coloured paint onto the ends of both arms and add red 'boot' shapes to the end of each leg. Leave to dry.

6. Fill in the unpainted space on the oval body shape with yellow paint.

7. Once your paint is completely dry you can add some detail onto your painting by roughly drawing around the outline of each shape with a fine nibbed black pen. Use the picture as a guide.

8. Cut your painting out and stick onto a slightly larger piece of red card using double sided tape. Remember to leave more red card showing on the left hand side of your painting.

9. Spell the word 'super' from alphabet charms and glue these along the left hand edge of your painting using tacky glue. Leave to dry. Use the picture as a guide.

10. Stick your finished design to the centre front of a square card blank using double sided tape.

11. Using a black fine nibbed pen draw the letters 'D', 'A' and 'D' onto three separate star embellishments, then glue these underneath your painting using tacky glue. Use the picture as a guide.
