Instructions
1. Cut strips from various decorative or handmade papers in shades of blue, each strip being about 6" in length and varying widths.
2. Rub glue stick over an area on white copy paper the length of your strips and wide enough to allow you to put down several strips before drying. Continue laying strips down in this matter, going from darkest to lightest and back to darkest so that darker colors are on the edges. Cut off excess copy paper around strips, cutting right to edge of strips and cleaning up the ends with paper cutter.
3. Turn block of colored strips a quarter turn and begin cutting strips of various widths, cutting ACROSS colors.
4. Glue strips to celery panel using glue stick, moving the pattern up and down by keeping colors near each other, but not exactly next to each other (Lay out your pattern before gluing to make sure you're getting the movement you want). Vary widths by using a fatter strip, then a skinny strip, etc.
5. Add gold corners to celery panel and adhere to dk blue card front.
6. Attach fern to bottom left corner using a pop-up glue dot.
