Napkin and Plant Wrap!!


This card has been selected as one of the top three at Papelitos Challenge 
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.

I am linking this to:

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