On the eve of the International Women's Day, all men are in finding a gift that will be able to please their favorite women. An excellent addition to any presentation will be beautiful postcards in the scrapbooking technique made by their own.
Peculiarities
On March 8, men often give cards, but usually they buy ready-made versions with a written poem or wishes. However, girls are much more pleasant to get a surprise made with their own hands. Under such a case, postcards made in scrapbooking techniques are ideal - Such a gift definitely does not want to give anyone to anyone.
Scrapbooking technique appeared in 1830, and literally translates as "Book of pieces".
If more specifically, this is a book, a postcard or an album glued from photos, paper cuts, letters, magazines, figures, colors, colored paper, bows and many other materials available. Classification of postcards made in scrapbooking technique does not exist, but you can divide them into two main types.
- Flat. Without volumetric figures, colors and bows. Most often they are not dropped, but simply bilateral.
- Volumented. Most often with flower, numbers, somehow drawing or a bow. There may be such postcards drop-down or bilateral: facial - the main part, and the rear - with the words of congratulations.
Also, postcards can be a certain form: triangular, round, oval or in the form of a number. The last option is often applied to the holiday of March 8, accompanied by spring paints: green and pink, gluing colors. And as a photo, images of nature or the brightest photos of the lady are used.
Postcards made in scrapbooking technique are ideal for preserving important memories and do not limit the fantasy of donors.
The widespread option is a postcard with a surprise, when, for example, a master makes a flower from chocolates on the front side. Candy as a result is eaten, and candy so make a flower on a postcard.
A characteristic feature of scrapbooking is that there are no restrictions in this technique, and any materials available at hand can be used. The number of ideas and surprises when creating this gift is also not limited. It is worth only to remember that the postcard made in the scrapbooking technique should not stop, and it is desirable to prevent a significant gift.
