Instructions
Step 1
Create a greeting card with the silhouette of the hero of the occasion. To do this, draw a profile of a person or his figure, reflect in the image the characteristic features of the hairstyle, nose, posture - everything that will unmistakably indicate a particular person. Practice on a draft, when you are completely satisfied with the drawing, transfer it to black paper. Cut out, glue to the prepared piece of light cardboard. Make an openwork frame in the form of a mat, place it over the picture and glue it. The silhouette can also be made in the style of Wendy Warhol by placing four contrasting images on the card.
Step 2
Use the quilling technique. Its essence consists in placing rolled strips of paper on a plane, while the part is glued to the edge. Use colored paper with both sides painted, cut strips of the same thickness, roll into spirals, form petals, hearts, leaves. Lay out more complex shapes from the details, for example, snowflakes, floral ornaments, boats. Glue the elements with PVA to the cardboard.
Step 3
Pick up colored paper napkins and cut or tear them into small squares. Crumple, form balls of the same size. Cut a vase out of colored paper, you can also use magazine pages. Glue this piece in the center of the cardboard, apply a small amount of glue to each lump and place it on the surface above the vase. If you use yellow napkins, you will get mimosa, if you use purple ones, you will get lilac. Shades can be combined.
Step 4
Make a panoramic postcard, according to the principle of creating books, which, when opened, form a three-dimensional scene with details on different plans. Draw objects or appliqué on cardboard. Use a blade to make cuts in the right places, fold the protruding elements in the opposite direction. Glue the entire structure onto a piece of cardboard folded in half.
