Thank you Papelitos!!
Greetings.
It is good to be back here after such a long absence - with summer, (read gardening and lawn mowing) Christmas and the house project, life is a tad busy!!
But I have managed several cards and another card class since I last posted.
The card I am sharing today was inspired by some paper table napkins that were used at my Aunts 85th birthday party - my cousin graciously gave me a couple to bring home.

I used the 'felted cardstock' technique found here. After adhering and trimming the napkin layer, I sponged the edges. I then sprayed it with a silver glitter mist.
This was then mounted over maroon card, and the sentiment embossed on a scrap of the same card, cut with a die and the edges sponged with pearlescent ink.
The silver layer under the sentiment and top layer was a wrap from a gifted plant - compliments of my neighbour.
This shot shows the sparkle from the mist and the silver layer. The rhinestones were added in three groups - one on the sentiment and two on the card.
I was very pleased with this outcome of this card.

Thanks so much for visiting - may your day be blessed.
