Directions

Draw and color the magic card

Print off (or draw) the character of your choice on a white sheet of paper.

Go over character's outline using a water-proof felt pen.

Place a sheet of tracing paper on the white sheet and trace the character with the felt tip pen.

Cut out the 2 sheets, making sure they are the same size and leaving enough room around the character so that you can put a frame around it.

Color in the character on the white sheet only.

Assemble the card

Stick the top, bottom and left edges of the tracing paper on the white sheet.

Stick the 4 strips of colored cardboard on the tracing paper to make a border.

Cut a third sheet out of patterned craft paper in the same size as the previous 2, but this time with a flap on the right hand side.
Slide it through the gap between the white paper and the tracing paper.

NB: Above all do not glue this third sheet in place. It needs to be able to move!
