Mother’s Day is a special holiday, when you want to express your love and gratitude to the dearest people. One of the most touching ways to do this is to create a gift with your own hands. Wooden cards-art is not just a greeting card, but a stylish decoration that can be kept in memory and used in the interior.
For the base it is best to use a light wooden board or plywood. It can be left in its natural state or covered with a thin layer of stain, giving the wood a beautiful shade. To achieve a more vintage effect, you can lightly sand the edges and create a scuffed effect.
You can choose any postcard design – from classic colors to abstract patterns. One of the simplest and most effective options is to use the technique of burning. With the help of a special device you can put beautiful inscriptions, patterns or even a portrait on the surface. If burning is unavailable, you can draw a picture with acrylic paints or use decoupage technique, gluing napkin motifs on the surface.
Additional decorative elements will help to add volume: lace, small wooden figures, dried flowers or even pieces of fabric. They are glued on the card and create a multi-layered effect. You can make a composition of small wooden hearts, laying them out in the form of a bouquet or wreath.
Special attention should be paid to the text. Warm words can be engraved, handwritten or stenciled. If you want something unusual, you can add a mini envelope with a note or hide the message under a small hinged element.
The finishing touch is to treat the surface with varnish. This will help to preserve the work for many years, protecting it from damage. If the postcard will be used as interior decor, you can attach a loop or magnet to the back so that it can be hung on the wall or refrigerator.
Wooden art cards are not only beautiful, but also a heartfelt gift. They convey the warmth of hands and love, invested in their creation, and most importantly – remain in memory, reminding of the most precious moments.
