Bright & Beautiful
Bright & 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.
Main Picture: The centre motif is a flower scanned into
the computer, colour adjusted and printed.
To Make The Cards:
The designs are simply made from layers of
different papers glued one above the other and
an eye catching focal point glued into the centre.
Above: This flower was also scanned and printed out,
the edges of the paper have been torn before mounting.

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
the pattern. The paper
will now be white with
a metallic pattern across
it, leave it aside to dry.
Above: The flower and background colours were adj-
usted on the computer, this one has torn edges again.
Below: These two designs are worked straight onto
painted paper, the peel off is simply stuck onto the
paper, the cross is rubber stamped.

Make as many
patterned sheets as
you think you will
want before tidy-
ing up. 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
different sheen of colour in a few places.
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. If you have done
a swirly pattern then
following the swirls
with bands of colour can also be effective. Here
are some examples of patterns I have used.
