Spring has come and brought with it not only spring joy, warmth, the first flowers and leaves, but also opened the 2015 wedding season. Starting from spring and ending in mid-autumn, it has long been customary to marry off brides, so this tradition has reached our times. In spring, weddings are light, beautiful, and blooming, since spring is the most blooming time of the year. Preparing for a wedding already feels especially light and joyful, but nevertheless, it is just as responsible as at any other time of the year. The young people carefully think through everything, prepare, choose the date and place of celebration, prepare a list of guests, order a car, buy outfits and rings, in a word, there are a lot of worries. But these are pleasant and sweet chores that bring pleasure, since a wedding is a special celebration, which is once and for all. Guests, in turn, also have a very difficult time, since they have to choose present for young people, and believe me, this is not at all easy.What is the most common gift given at weddings? It’s different for everyone: some give travel vouchers, others give household items, others give souvenirs and interior decorations for the home, and many prefer to give money. Since it is difficult and difficult to please the tastes of today’s youth, but a cash gift is somehow more acceptable in this case, and the young people will then decide for themselves what they need to buy first. But even giving money needs to be done with taste, and for this, an envelope or a postcard with a pocket for money comes to our aid. Since a wedding is a special holiday, verbal congratulations are also required, so it would be better to have a postcard in which these words can be written.
To be an original guest at a wedding, you can make such a card with your own hands, which is what we are now, in fact, doing, and our beloved and rich in materials will help us with this scrapbooking.

So, let's get started and take the following:
• Watercolor paper;
• Wedding shabby scrap paper, several similar colors;
• Mother-of-pearl cardboard with embossing;
• Picture with young people;
• Openwork white cutting;
• Stamp “Happy Wedding Day”;
• White poppy, complex mother-of-pearl stamens, white berry in sugar;
• White polymer frame;
• White die-cut bow;
• Long branches with stamens;
• Long white feather;
• White large hydrangea;
• A piece of white lace;
• Peach paper butterfly;
• Mother of pearl hollow heart and half beads;
• Stamp with rings, newlyweds, glasses and inscriptions;
• Dark pink ink;
• White and peach ribbons made of satin and organza;
• Curb punchers;
• PVA glue, glue gun, double-sided tape;
• Scissors, pencil and ruler.

We cut out the base of the postcard from watercolor paper, fold it in half and get an 11*20 cm blank when folded.

From scrap paper we now cut out two large rectangles 10.5*19.5 cm and small quadrangles, as in the photo.

We scratch two large and one small rectangles with scissors, so to speak, we age them. We make lace strips from pearl cardboard using a hole punch.

Using PVA glue we glue the inner pocket, along the top and sides along the strip, as well as mother-of-pearl lace onto large rectangles.

We assemble the front part of the card, glue the rectangle, and sew it on a machine. On top we glue a cut-out figure from white cardboard, a picture of the newlyweds on it, and we also sew it on with a machine.

We stamp the inscription, tint it, glue it to the front and sew it on. We also stamp the remaining inscriptions.

Glue both rectangles to the base.

We sew each one by machine. We make a bouquet of flowers.

We glue a feather and twigs under the frame, a frame on them, and a bouquet and bows with ribbons on the frame. We glue the bow, flower, lace and butterfly as in the photo.
