Everyone knows very well that the fashionable and trendy color of 2015 is tiffany color, or it is also called mint or menthol. This color is very delicate and a little mysterious, so every person tries to buy something new for themselves in this color in order to keep up with fashion. It’s also very good to make it in tiffany color present friends and family. Among such gifts can be either a purchased souvenir or item, or a gift that will be made with your own hands. You can list endlessly what you can give to your friend or girlfriend, mom or dad, son or daughter, uncle or aunt, and so on, but most any gift must be accompanied by a greeting card. It is in it that the real memory of this particular holiday remains, and after a year a person can pick it up again and re-read your congratulations. In stores you may not find a birthday card in exactly the Tiffany color, but you can make it yourself, and one very interesting technique of modern needlework will help us with this, this scrapbooking. Moreover, we will make a folding postcard from a series of complex postcards, which will give it even more originality and unusualness.

For this interesting master class we will need to take:
• Watercolor sheet of A4 paper;
• Tiffany-colored scrapbooking paper in several colors;
• Cut out circle;
• Pictures with a cat, a hare and a panda;
• Printed inscriptions;
• Stamp “Happy Birthday”, “Dreams Come True” and green ink;
• Carved white and tiffany butterflies;
• Satin and organza ribbons in tiffany color;
• Bouquets of complex stamens beige and tiffany;
• Latex rose tiffany color;
• Paper leaves are beige-green;
• Polymer decorations: roses, daisies, white frame;
• Cotton lace also in tiffany color;
• Pearl half-beads and a shiny cabochon center in silver;
• Two curb hole punches;
• PVA glue;
• Scissors and lighter;
• Double-sided tape;
• Pencil, ruler, eraser, glue gun.

The first thing we'll be doing is creating the base of an intricate watercolor fold-out card. To do this, unfold the watercolor sheet horizontally, divide it into three parts of 10 cm each, draw bends under the ruler so that the card folds. The height of the postcard will fluctuate, so measure 13 cm on one side and 18 cm on the other, connect and draw an oblique line.

Now, using a lace hole punch, we make the openwork top of the card base.

Let's fold it like this. Now we will prepare its design. To do this, we take scrap paper of different textures, but all in Tiffany color.

We cut out blanks like this.

We go through the pieces that remain with a hole punch and glue the scrap blanks at the top with PVA glue.Our card has an interesting shape, so it will be closed and tied; to do this, we cut two 15 cm pieces of satin ribbon and glue them with double-sided tape on the back of the piece.

We cut off pictures and inscriptions with rounded corners and tint the edges. On a piece of watercolor we stamp the inscription “Happy Birthday”.

Using pieces of double-sided tape we glue the inscriptions with pictures onto the scrap figures. We sew each element on a sewing machine. Now we glue all these scrap blanks onto the base.

We sew all three sides using a sewing machine. This is how the card is folded and tied with a bow.

Now we make a bouquet from flowers and stamens, tie bows from ribbons and glue decor on the front of the postcard. Inside we stamp various inscriptions and objects.
