Star Cards Resist

MATERIALS
Watercolor paper, cut into smaller squares and rectangles, about 3×4″ each
Small star stickers (Avery star stickers work well)
Liquid watercolor paint (we used blue and turquoise)
Small paint brush
Container for watercolor paint
Salt
Blank cards (card stock folded into cards)
Glue stick
Black Sharpie

Directions
Cut the 9×12″ watercolor paper sheets into smaller squares and rectangles, about 3×4″ each. Press star stickers onto the watercolor paper.  Paint over the watercolor paper and stickers with liquid watercolors.  Sprinkle salt onto the paper.  Observe what happens. Once paint is dry, gently remove the stickers and brush away the salt with fingers or a dry, clean brush. Glue the starry night art to the front of blank cards, which were made from 8×10 paper folded in half. Press the cards by placing them under a heavy book until the glue is dry.  Use a black Sharpie to make a border around the artwork.
