Reindeer Greetings

 


Welcome
I tried something new-to-me today....napkin art.
Simply put, use a napkin to create a card.  
I was off to search for a napkin with a picture on it for my card.

So here's what I did to create my card. 
  • After I found this cute little paper napkin in the drawer, I pulled the backing away from the image side of the napkin.  Using a glue stick, I glued it onto a piece of white cardstock and set aside to dry.  (I did that with 2 separate napkins, as I knew I wanted to cut the pieces out of one of them)
  • When they were dry, I coated them with some Vicki Boutin Gel Medium to seal them up and bond them to the cardstock background.  I left them to dry again before going onto the next steps.
  • When dry, I trimmed up one of the reindeer panels to fit on the front of a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4" square card base.  
  • I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Paper Smooches in the bottom corner.  
  • I pop dotted the stamped panel onto the card base, then using the second piece I had added the Gel Medium over, I cut out the reindeer's scarf and pop dotted that back into place.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
