The process of making a postcard.
1. First of all, you need to prepare the basis for making a postcard. To do this, you need to bend a sheet of colored cardboard in half and measure out a square measuring 15*15 cm on it. Cut off the excess.
2. We measure the scrap paper so that it is 0.5 cm smaller than the main sheet on each edge. We trim the edges of the paper with curly scissors.
3. We attach the scrap paper to the cardboard blank.
4. A circle made of green paper with rounded edges (in the shape of a flower). This element should be larger in size than the round blank with a congratulatory inscription.
5. Using glue, attach the circle with the inscription to the green flower.
6. We attach the resulting decorative element with double-sided tape to the center of the card.
7. Cut out the leaves. Draw veins on the leaves using a colored pencil.
8. Next, we begin making paper roses. To do this, you need to cut out 12 flower blanks from red double-sided paper. From this number of blanks you will get 3 roses. We carefully place the blanks on top of each other to form a stack.
9. Place the stack of flowers in the water and wet them well. The paper should be saturated with water, but not wet.
10. Place the wet flowers on a towel.
11. Let's start decorating the petals. To do this, we will bend each petal using a teaspoon. So, we make pressing movements with a spoon from the edge of the petal to the center. We repeat this movement several times for each of the petals.
12. Leave the resulting curved flowers in a stack until completely dry.
13. After the petals have completely dried, carefully separate the flowers from each other.
14. Next, we proceed to the formation of a rose bud. We take one flower blank and fix a paper ball in the center of it.
15. We wrap one of the petals around the ball, while securing the petal with glue.
16. We also fasten the opposite rose petal around the ball.
17. We wrap the remaining petals towards the center and glue them in the same way as the previous petals.
18. Next, place the resulting bud on the next workpiece. We fix both flowers in the center. After that, we collect all the petals of the new flower into a bud and secure them.
19. We attach the third blank to the previous ones along the edge of the petals.At the same time, we unfold the flower with its curves downwards.
20. We fix the last flower in the same way as the previous one, but in a checkerboard arrangement of the petals.
21. As a result, we get 3 voluminous roses.
22. Let's start assembling. To begin, glue 3 leaves to the far left corner of the card.
23. Next we glue the roses. We also glue leaves around the roses.
24. Attach pink half-beads to 3 corners of the card.
25. At the top of the card we attach a ladybug.
26. The card for mom is ready! All that remains is to arrange the congratulations inside the postcard.
A greeting card made in scrapbooking style will definitely please your mother and will be appropriate for any holiday.
