Skylines

By Pat Hawdon

One of these skylines is Edinburgh Castle

and the surrounding area, the other is just

made up. The best way to get new skyline

designs is to visit interesting places and take

photographs of them. You can then simply

trace the skyline from the photo to make

your cards.

Materials Required:

A selection of mulberry paper: Peach, Pink,

Lilac and Purple.

Orange tissue paper 11cm x 2cm.

Black and Very Dark Grey paper: 12cm x 8cm.

Thin card 12cm x 16cm.

Tracing paper, pencil and a White pencil.

P. V.A. Craft Adhesive.

Card mount: AP52U White.

To Make The Card:

Place the tracing paper over

the diagram of your choice and

trace both outlines, one of the

foreground and one of the back-

ground silhouette.

I prefer to make templates of

the skylines so I can keep them

and make more cards very easily.

To do this place the paper face

down onto the thin card and

retrace over the lines to transfer

them. Cut out the shapes to make

the templates and label them

‘Grey’ and ‘Black’ as the diagrams

are labelled.

Actual Size

Place the templates over the

appropriately coloured paper and

using a sharp white pencil trace

the outlines. Cut out the resulting

paper silhouettes.

Tear a strip of orange tissue

paper and one strip of mulberry

in each colour making them

approximately 11cm long and

1.5cm to 2.5cm wide.

Fold the card mount and using a

pencil lightly mark where the aperture

comes on the flap behind. Unfold the

card and work onto the marked flap

making sure the edges of the paper go

beyond the marked circle.

Glue the strip of purple mulberry

at the top then follow with the lilac

overlapping the purple strip.

Add the pink strip overlapping the

lilac. The centre of the lilac strip is not

overlapped by either colour allowing

the white of the card behind to show

through it.

Tearing the mulberry and

tissue paper gives a lovely

ragged edge and helps the

layers of colour blend into

each other.

Add the peach mulberry overlap-

ping the pink then overlay with the

orange tissue leaving just under 1cm

of peach showing.

As the colour from the

layers beneath show through

the top layer, different effects

can be achieved by varying

the way you overlap the

strips.

Glue the black skyline onto the

background and the grey skyline onto

this. The side and bottom edges of

the grey and black paper should be

aligned with each other. Glue the card

closed to finish.
