Firstly, I am going to speak about the card making process :

At the beginning, the woman chooses images and differents papers (4). Then, she figures out good colors to put whith the papers. The next step is to colour the images, to cut it and to put ink on it with a sponge. After, she glues soft flowers on it.

Finally, she makes layers of the papers and she puts her sentiment on the card. She can also put buttons or diamond on the card.

Now I am going to speak about silk painting, it is a way to make scarf, card, cushion... :

The first step is to choose a pattern and to cut the silk. You have to use a framework in order to tense the silk, it has to have the good size. The next step is to reproduce the pattern with paint. It is easier to put the silk on the pattern.

Finally you have to wait your work to dry. If you want a better look, you have to put salt on the silk just after painting. Salt brightens the color, and give a light effect.

The silk painting is a very old art. The silk appeared in China, and the Chineses were accustomed to paint on silk before the invention of the paper.
