Let's get to work.
First, prepare the background for the card.
You can take one color and gradually lighten it with white paint, or you can use several colors, making a smooth stretch between them.
You can also come up with your own way of painting the background: chaotic color spots, neat stripes, bold brush strokes, and so on.
Next, we move on to our silhouette. From the printed sheet to the thick paper we transfer the drawing (can be applied to a window or glass cabinet door).
We independently draw up the frame, not forgetting to leave small connecting "membranes" at the corners.
Then, putting an oilcloth or an unnecessary notebook under the paper so as not to cut the work surface, we cut out the stencil using a clerical knife.
Having finished cutting, we glue the stencil to an already dried base and go to the next stage.
Now the next in line are flowers for decoration. You will need scissors, a napkin and threads.
We cut the napkin into the squares of the sizes we need (which is the largest square, the flower will be the same).
Next, we act as shown in the diagram.
As a result, these are the flowers.
Glue them to our postcard.
At this stage, you can stop, but you can go further: make bright centers for flowers from beads.
To do this, squeeze a large drop of super-glue into the center of the flower and pour bright beads.
All! Postcard is ready.
I wish you creative success and inspiration!
