This week's Try a New Technique challenge incorporates a napkin as part of the card as dp. WHAT A GREAT CHALLENGE! Loved it! Thank you.
It was a little trickier than I imagined, so I only got one done last night. I'd like to do a couple more because I just love the look of this technique! Have lots of napkins left over from casual entertaining and not enough of them to use to entertain again, so this is a perfect solution!
I liked the little scrub-a-dub-dub duck image by itself, so I pretty much left it alone. Added ribbon to keep the edges tacked down. The napkin wanted to lift around the edges, so I guess I didn't iron it long enough.
Added a tag that says Happy because the image just made me happy looking at it!
Hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

This is adorable! What part is the napkin.....just the duck? I love everything you did with it, including the accent all around the card, and the tag too! Great job!

this is just adorable! You must have had some kind of fantastic pool party, that's all I can say! Or perhaps you picked up these napkins at a poolside party following an africian hunt. Where ever they had their genesis, I cant believe you've managed to so skillfully take this adorable napkin and make a card out of it. This whole technique sounded like way too much trouble to me, but I guess you have a temperment better suited for all these details!
Great card, Divine Ms. M.
