Oh the pressure! Susan presented us with such a lovely challenge, I just wanted to make sure I did it justice. I was pretty stumped at first, wanted to knock it out of the park. Not sure that I did that, but this was a lot of fun.
It made so much sense to me to do collage using napkins. I prepared my wc paper background with a lot of different colors, added my cut up napkins with the matte medium and arranged everything. Popped a few things up, punched out some flowers from left over background, added Liquid Pearls, my favorite thing to do lately, added the birch branches, some blue foil and the leaf ribbon. Decided to do my favorite border tangle around the edges. There is a little stamping too, it is similar to the Zentangle.
Thanks Susan for a super challenge. I can't wait to get my hands on that book.

Your collaged napkins brought lots of texture to this project then my eyes honed in on the tiny strips of birch bark - and the thought that popped in my head was this looks like the REAL deal. As I read your description, I patted my self on the back for being so astute - Well done, Jean!

Napkins - inspired idea, Jean. I have an assortment of fun ones somewhere that I was gifted. I always like the texture they give. The vintage look bird and leaf trim are my favourite details, but I love everything about this.
