Inspired by the sea and abstract Japanese art, the 'Of The Sea' collage is a beautiful coloured or patterned card artistic creation.
It is medium level to make.
These DIY art pieces make great creatively homemade gifts to give.
You can change the colours of the card to your own taste.
If you want to modify my design, you could also add cutouts of fish, starfish, seahorses, plankton, seaweed, and coral.
You will need:
Two pieces of card, plain or patterned for the base.
The template shapes in complementary colours cut from heavy paper card
Glue
A black Sharpie pen
11 x 14 inch (to fit an 8 x 10 inch collage) frame with an internal mat
Copy the templates to your computer, print A4 size directly onto the coloured paper card of your choice.
Or print on white card, cut them out and draw around them on the patterned card, then cut out.
Otherwise, use a pencil and draw your own freeform shapes on the coloured paper card, and then cut them out.
Cut a base colour card the size of the frame photo insert.
Cut a second background layer slightly shorter to create a horizon and glue the two together.
Arrange your prepared shapes on a card that fits the internal photo size for the frame.
You can outline in black sharpie some of the shapes for more definition.
When you are happy with the positioning, glue each piece in place.
Use the wave shape as a guide to get the positioning right.
Glue the wave on last.
Then pop in the frame.
The 'Of The Sea' Framed Paper Collage is ready to hang, place on a shelf, or wrap and gift.
