Stages of work on the
postcard First, let's see what should happen:
It should be noted that you can choose any color you like, or what pastel color paper will be available.
Step 1: Create the basics.
Take the white paper and cut the rectangle 15x20 cm. Put it in a vertical position. We retreat 8 cm from the top, and at this distance from the edge we make a line. Parallel to it, draw another line, at a distance of 3 cm from the bottom edge. With the help of a scribbling stick, fold the paper along the marked lines - we get a blank for the future postcard. Its size is 10х15 cm.
. Stage 2. Preparation of basic elements.
You will need scrap paper, from which the following blanks will be cut. It is necessary to cut 6 rectangular elements. Two - 9.5 x 14.5 cm, two - 7.5 × 14.5, two - 2.5 × 14.5.Further from other paper the following elements are cut out - two rectangles of sizes 6х11 and 3х8 cm. On a small rectangle it is necessary to make an inscription: "Happy Wedding Day".It can be printed on the printer, or use a suitable stamp, or write yourself.

With the help of distress ink, the blanks from the scrap paper are toned - that will give them a more interesting look. But you can do without it. All the obtained elements from the scrap paper are stuck on the white paper. It is better to use double-sided scotch. Rectangles are cut off - at the edges we leave 2-3 mm

postcard To the first workpiece we glue the satin ribbon( about 50 cm).The tape is glued to the back of the future postcard with glue-pencil, at a distance of about 4 cm from the edge. We glue the next workpiece on top( the largest of the scrap rectangles).The remaining rectangles, corresponding to the size, are glued to the inside of the postcard, the front part is not touched.
With the help of a sheet-like sheet in line draw up the future field for a congratulatory speech. Cut the rectangle 7x12 cm and glue the inside of the postcard on the central part. Doing this is not necessary.
Step 5. Cover design for
postcard The lace is left on the remaining rectangular piece - 4 cm from the left edge. It is necessary to leave some lace on top and bottom - to glue it from the back side. The resulting element is glued to the cover of the postcard preform. The tape is straightened so that it lies over the lace.
All other elements are glued on top - as in the photo.
Stage 6. Decoration of the postcard
For this we use rhinestones, flowers and leaves - they are glued next to the inscription. With the help of ordinary pins with a round head, we create beautiful ornaments - we sew beads on them, fixing them with glue. You should get about such pins

The ends of the ribbon are tied in a neat bow, the ends are cut off along an oblique line.
