This week's Mix-ability challenge is "Waxing Eloquent" - to use some kind of wax on the card.
Several years ago I bought some beeswax and learnt a technique where you melt the beeswax with your craft iron and spread it on cs to hold the top layer of a paper napkin in place. Then you add more melted wax on top of the napkin - while it's still molten, you can add glitter, microbeads, etc.
I used little flecks of gold glitter and tiny gold squares randomly sprinkled over the top. I edged the panel with gold acrylic paint and added a gold ribbon.
It's a fun technique as there are some beautiful paper napkins out there. And the card smells wonderful!

I saw something a little like this on Pinterest this week and thought it would be fun to try. I love what you have done; it has such a warm vintage look to it.
