Easter Postcards (3)

In this postcard project I covered the egg in small flowers.

Flowery Easter Postcard

Material: 1 sheet of white paper

                1 sheet of pink paper

                newspaper and magazine cutouts in all shades of pink, purple, red, orange

                oil pastels in pale pink

                spray fixative

                glue

                thread in several shades of pink

• Print the template.
• Cover the egg in oil pastels and mark vertical lines with a needle, beginning in the center and drawing parallels every 1.5 cm.
• Cut out flowers in shades and patterns of pink with a flower hole punch.
• Fix the flower cut-outs with tiny dots of glue along the vertical lines.
• Sew along these lines in different colours. Knot the dangling threads thoroughly on the back.
• Spread spray glue onto the pink paper and press onto the back of the postcard.
• Fold the postcard carefully with a bone folder along the middle.

Making this postcard was so much fun, that I produced some more in every colour of the rainbow. To top the look, I added an envelope in the same colour as the lining of the respective card.
