Sheep Collage Christian Card Craft-psalm 23

Its sometimes amazing what you can come up with from the simplest of things. Old brown envelopes from the DWP, for example......the perfect colour for a little shredded paper sheep collage, which you can then personalise with your own words, or perhaps a verse from Psalm 23-'The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want....' - good for a poorly friend or to put a smile on someones face.



1 Scrap paper-you will need 3 neutral colours, plus black




2 Old book leaves are great for the wool


 

3 Tear the envelope into a rough circle, and use it to rip some small pieces for the wool, also use the plain paper from the edge of the page for the lighter wool

                                    


4 Using clear glue, create a shaggy silhouette with the darker paper. Use the lighter colour on top.




5 Your finished ball of fluff-now to make it sheep-like




6 Use your hole-punch to create eyeballs, and black pen for pupils. I chose to tear the head and leg shapes, but scissors would create a nice effect too.




7 Stick it all down on white card [try cereal boxes] and mount on sugar paper or whatever you want. I stuch a few more bits of white over the front legs to make it more realistic.




8 I cut letters from a book index for my words- a stamping kit would be even better





9 For a completely recycled card, I mounted it all on Kraft card.
