DOCRAFTS CREATIVITY MAGAZINE ISSUE 33 MAY/JUN 2012
This issue we feature a delightful collection from Lucy Cromwell by Papermania, off ering all the cups of tea, cake and bunting you will need to set the scene. And just to prove how versatile this range is, you can also find it in our ‘Wedding Special’ feature and used to make a Father’s Day card in our ‘make a Father’s Day card’ challenge! Our ‘Wedding Special’ feature also includes jewellery for the bride and a charming idea to hold onto those precious memories of the big day!

Step by Step
1
Carefully cut wavy stips of coloured tissue paper. This will be the background for your sea.
2
Mix some PVA glue with a little bit of water and spread it on your paper.
3
Carefully layer the tissue paper on the gluey paper, over lapping the colours. You may need to spread a thin layer of glue over the top, just to make sure it sticks.
4
Cut out some fish shapes from tissue paper, and some wavy reed shapes and add them to the picture. Then let everything dry.
5
Once everything is dry you can add some wiggly eyes and draw on details of fishy fins, mouths and bubbles! Why not add some other embellishments too, like some Papermania floral trims for seaweed.

Top Tip: Be careful when placing and gluing the tissue paper as it can tear easily.
