ÿþBright & Beautiful By Pam Goodwin I was determined to use these Vanguard coloured cards, they had been in my box for ages and presented quite a challenge. Looking through my back issues of the Craft Creations magazine I noticed they are rarely used. I love the strong, bold colours of the cards but had difficulty finding colours that looked good with them  I think I ve cracked the problem! This collection is especially for those of you who would also like to use these lovely bright colours and may be having trouble finding the subject to go with them. The success lies in the hand painted paper layer which has been done to match the card, also important is the use of strong colours for the layers of toning paper. Materials Required: A variety of papers in strong colours matching as closely as possible the vanguard colours. These should include mulberry papers, metallic tissue papers and plain papers. Central Motif, this can be rubber stamped, peel off stickers, torn from an old magazine, scanned and printed or anything else you find suitable. Metallic acrylic paints. Water soluble ink. Hand printed paper (instructions given later in the article). A pencil with a rubber on the end. A piece of hardboard approximately A4. Afew sheets of A4 White cartridge paper. Spray mount adhesive. P.V.A. Craft Adhesive. Card mount: Any Vanguard colour card. To Make The Cards: Main Picture: The centre motif is a flower scanned into the computer, colour adjusted and printed. The designs are simply made from layers of different papers glued one above the other and Above: This flower was also scanned and printed out, the edges of the paper have been torn before mounting. an eye catching focal point glued into the centre. 18 For best results each layer should be around 1cm smaller (5mm all round) than the one beneath. For tissue or mulberry paper use spray mount when glueing to the card as they tear easily. A mixture of plain and patterned papers work well. Mulberry papers look especially good with torn edges against a plain, contrasting colour and all papers usually look best torn rather than cut. When tearing papers, cut them into a square just a little larger than you want, then tear along each edge, otherwise it can be difficult to get an evenly torn square and it can simply look untidy. Hand Printed Paper: Roll out some gold acrylic paint (other metal- lic colours are just as good) onto the hardboard. Using a rubber on the top of a pencil, draw a strong design in the gold paint, try criss- crossing lines or swirls. Place a piece of car- tridge paper over the design and press gently onto the paint. Remove the paper, taking it straight upward, don t drag it or you will spoil Above: The flower and background colours were adj- usted on the computer, this one has torn edges again. the pattern.

Re-roll the paint, adding more as necessary, and make new patterns with the rubber topped pencil. Now to colour the paper, use water soluble paints or inks in colours as close as possible to the vanguard card. Paint the paper going right over the acrylic paint, most of the water soluble colour will roll off the acrylic surface so the colour will show through nicely. Small amounts of coloured paint will be trapped in the rough surface of the acrylic paint, blending together to create a slightly with bands of colour can also be effective. Here different sheen of colour in a few places. are some examples of patterns I have used. Most effective is usually to paint broad bands of colours across the paper, these contrast well with the metallic patterns and are not too fussy.
