Our postcard will be in the style of shebbie-chic (which translates as "shabby shine" or "shabby chic"), and the technique by which the valentine is made is called scrapbooking.

If you just start scrapbooking, then for the first time you will have 2 special punch holes, a couple of ink pads and silicone stamps.

Master class with photo - step by step instruction

To begin with, we will select the color gamut forour handmade valentine cards. We chose pastel soft colors: soft blue, pink and beige. These colors are well suited to each other and will look beautiful when "aging". (Artificial aging is the main feature of the cheby-chic style).

The postcard will consist of 4 layers of paper. We compose them, overlapping each other, but NOT gluing them.

Now we need to draw out the edges of the paper. The edges of the lower layer of the valentine we leave flat. The edge of the second layer is embossed using a special punch for scrapbooking. The edges of the third sheet of paper will be wavy. You can cut such a relief with special scissors or ordinary manicure.

Now we can glue three layers. We do this with the help of double-sided scotch tape. You can use super glue.

Now proceed to decorating the top layer, the central part of our handmade valentines. A cushion for printing with brown ink is rubbed the edges of the sheet, thus aging it.

We decorate with the lace the central part with the edges erased earlier. (Lace can be glued on double-sided adhesive tape or glue).

Cut the prepared hearts and paste them on the dark paper to give them a visual volume. Then we make one hole for each cord on each heart. If you do not have ready-made, printed hearts, it's okay, you can create them yourself: set the color with paint, and decorate with nail polish and glitter.

To our hearts we glue the wings cut from cotton lace. (You can glue both super glue and double-sided adhesive tape).

At the bottom of the postcard we will have the wish "Sweets andpleasures. " We do it with a rubber stamp and a red ink pad. Paper after printing is cut off on the ruler, so that the edges are slightly uneven. We rub the aging paper and make hole for the waxed cord in the hole punch.

We have hearts in the center of the leaf. For completeness of the composition, we make a stamp in the corners of the patterns. If you do not have a stamp, you can draw patterns by hand with nail polish with sparkles.

The final touch - we bind forever two of our loving hearts with a waxed cord and they also make knots on paper with the wish "Sweets and Joys." Our handmade valentine is ready!
