Wipe off any excess paint from the small piece of card, and repeat the scraping as much as needed to fill each shape. Hold the card flat against the surface of the printable and pull it across, dragging the paint along. Use a thick piece of card to scrape the paint across the shape. A metallic gold paint gives a shimmery element. We used traditional Islamic colours of shades of blue, and yellow. If you would like to use a scrape painting technique to colour your moon and stars, place dots of paint by the side of each shape on the printable.
