Welcome
I made this card as a thank you to a friend who served a supper accompanied with beautiful paper napkins/serviettes... I slipped one into my handbag, and surprised her with this card some days later

The napkin was split so I had only the printed layer, and then glued it to a white card, folding the edges over as I went and also gluing them back, which gives a very neat edge

I then glued another smaller section to some scrap white card snippets, and when dry, trimmed out the images, mounted them on foam over the originals, and added a layer of Glossy Accents to them

The thanks was cut from a snippet of card that matched the base, I covered it with a strip of clear packing tape before die cutting it, so it looks embossed and so shiny.

The inside was finished with this wonderful scripture stamp from Stampendous, it is one of my original, wood mounted stamps.
The card was very well received :)

ReplyDeleteSuperb way to acknowledge your friend's help. Lovely card Maxine
ReplyDeleteBeautifully designed! Thank you for sharing with us at The PIP Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely idea. I am sure your friend will love it. I am always pocketing a napkin when I see one I like. They are a useful addition to a craft stash. The idea of using some of the elements as embellishments is clever, and you chose one of my favourite textx too. Kate x
ReplyDeleteWell, aren't you a sneaky clever girl, Maxine! I love this idea and the resulting design is fabulous! I can imagine the pleased surprise on her face! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea Maxine, great imaginative card.. your friend must’ve been delighted indeed.
ReplyDeleteI’m working on Christmas cards but must stop and do Birthday as they’re in sight now too! Time evaporates…
