What is needed for the work of

Homemade postcard is a part of the soul of the author. The more effort and imagination invested in the card, the more it demonstrates love. Easter greetings are made in bright colors, reminiscent of the spring, the sun.

Traditional symbols of Easter messages reflect the Christian ideas of love, eternal life. This is the heart, the open palm, the cross, the painted egg, the name "Jesus."Easter is associated with the spring awakening of nature. Therefore, postcards depict flowers, green branches, rabbits, chickens. Often there is one of the symbols of Christ - a white lamb.

It is important to remember that Easter is a family holiday. Therefore, in handicrafts it is desirable to include retro technology: embroidery, lacing, crochet. Natural materials - natural twigs, pieces of wood, straws - give the card a spontaneity. Easter greetings are always a bit naive, performed in a "childish" style. Light negligence enhances the effect of sincerity, purity of intentions.
