It would seem, what to choose? The eighth day of March in our country is the holiday of women, which means we need something nice for women. And here there is a place for reflection, because the topic for a postcard can be:

• flowers (bouquets and individual flowers);
• plant motifs (leaves, twigs, blades of grass and other flora);
• beautiful abstraction (spots, splashes, swirls and doodles);
• family motives (a stylized image of the whole family, the relationship between mother and child);
• motherhood (a happy mother in different life or comical situations);
• femininity (any images associated with femininity - self-care, outfits);
• culinary themes (charming confectionery can cheer up many women);
• animals.

My daughter also suggested using all kinds of insects as a theme for postcards, but, in my opinion, it can be either butterflies or dragonflies - all other insects do not seem pretty to me.

Choosing a working technique

To understand how to do it, you first need to figure out what techniques are available to you, what you can work with. It can be:

• painting and graphics;
• application;
• scrapbooking;
• origami;
• decoupage;
• embroidery.

As a fallback, you can also use bead weaving and knitting, but such postcards turn out to be too voluminous and laborious.

Different themes and different techniques

A few examples of postcards of different themes, which are made in different techniques with a brief job description.

Graphics and flowers

The simplest combination, making such a card is very easy. Draw flowers in any technique you like - watercolors, alcohol markers or even gel pens, fold the sheet in half and decorate the drawing a little by adding small details to it - for example, glitter gel pens.

Or cut out several circles of different diameters from multi-colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist them into buds, you get nice little flowers that you can decorate a postcard with.

Another postcard:

You will also need to sign a postcard - you can try to portray beautiful inscription with your own hands, using the technique of fake calligraphy, or you can simply print the inscription you like from the Internet.

Floral motifs and quilling

Quilling is an ideal technique if you want to get voluminous and original beautiful postcards by March 8,. To work, you will need a sketch or a master class, a blank made of thick paper for a postcard (for example, colored cardboard) and strips of colored paper for quilling.

It is necessary to lay out a drawing from the stripes according to the sketch, gluing it in such a way that it keeps its shape well. Or use the master class and follow its recommendations. Such postcards are very effective and beautiful.

If you want to get a voluminous beautiful postcard by March 8, made by yourself, then it makes sense to make all the elements using the quilling technique separately, and then assemble it on a blank - so you can work out the composition and come up with your own style.

Abstraction in any technique

This is a fairly easy way to make beautiful postcards in just a few minutes, especially if you have minimal paint skills and understand how to mix colors on a sheet so that you get beautiful streaks, not dirt on the sheet.

You can try the technique of marbling or suminagashi - they drip onto the water special paints, and stains are "removed" on paper by dipping. This technique allows you to imitate marble - I think you will get beautiful abstract greeting cards.

You can try to use monotype - for this, you need to apply a few drops of liquid watercolor on any smooth and non-absorbent surface, attach a sheet of paper and remove it - you get a beautiful print that can be used as a background for a postcard.

Marbling, like monotype, is a very easy way to make a beautiful background, and a hand-made background can be decorated with a ready-made inscription (for example, printed from the Internet).

Scrapbooking and femininity

Scrapbooking is interesting and quite simple, but you will need to visit a craft store to buy materials for work - cutting, chipboards, beautiful adhesive tapes, interesting texturing pastes and all kinds of glitters.

Choose an image for your card, such as a dress and lace. This is not a very complicated image, which even a child can embody. So, you need to choose a background for the postcard, cut it out and stick it on the base.

Then make the central element - the dress. Top part simply cut out of paper, it is better to fold the lower one with a fan to give a little volume. Glue a piece of lace and some small symbol on the background - it can be the number eight, a flower, a bird or a butterfly, and then install the central element, and your postcard is ready.

See the video for the steps of creating postcards with dresses:

Origami and animals

Learning how to fold origami is very easy, and voluminous postcard decorated with origami looks interesting. Try folding a cute fox, cat, or bird.

To make a postcard, you will need origami paper (you can replace it with ordinary colored double-sided paper), a base for a postcard and a decor of your choice. If you want the postcard to be elegant, then you can use sparkles, foil ornaments and stars.

And if you like minimalism, then a solid background and a bright paper animal are a great choice!

Culinary theme in different techniques

If you want to make a postcard in a culinary style, then you can take different motives - a jar of jam, a beautiful cupcake, or just a cup of coffee. Such a greeting card will be cozy and charming.

For manufacturing, you will need materials for scrapbooking, but you can get by with improvised means - trimming beautiful paper, unusual laces and labels, multi-colored adhesive tape and voluminous flowers. Gather finished goods- a pleasure, especially if the topic is close to you.

Now you know how to make an unusual beautiful postcard for any holiday and on March 8. If your child wants to make a postcard for his mother on March 8 with his own hands, then it is better to include a video lesson for him - one that was recorded by the child, so the baby will be clearer and more interesting, and the postcard to mom will turn out just great!
