First take some paint and smear it on a large sheet of paper. If you have a little helper around, like a one year old, this could be a fun way to include them in the project. If not, find your inner child and get creative. This project is fun because the less perfect it is, the better!
After your paint has dried, go ahead and draw some flower shapes in a dark marker. The outlines are fun to see on the final piece so a darker marker works best. Again, these flowers should be abstract and not perfect! Create leaf shapes as well.
Cut out the flowers, leaves and a few small strips that will act as the stems.
Fold a blank sheet of paper into a card, you can use whatever size you would like. I used white paper that had some of my sons markings on it for texture. You could use white paper, a colored paper or a pattern paper. Try different things to see what works best for you.
Use a glue stick to glue the flowers on first. Then add the small stems coming out of the of the flowers. Finally, glue the leaves on to anchor the stems to the bottom of the page.
