Pumpkin Friends

Happy Thursday, peeps! I am off to a late start today! It's hot and sticky and pretty miserable here in SE PA, so I felt I needed a fall card to help me cool off! My sweet friend Renita sent me a beautiful birthday card and when I asked her about the background paper, she said it was a NAPKIN!  

I have heard of the napkin technique, but never tried it! And don't you know, she sent me a whole supply of GORGEOUS napkins with which to play!!  Thanks, Renita!  So I looked up the technique on line (I used Lou Collins' method) but it looked as if there were lots of tutorials out there!  So here we go:

Can you believe that's a napkin?  I used a piece of scrap cardstock and brushed on ModPodge, then adhered the napkin.  Lou gives some tips on her video, so I recommend watching it first.  But honestly, it took five minutes to create the page.  You do need to let it dry, so I waited until this morning to make my card.   The sentiment, stamped on some Wood Grain Wonders DSP, is from the retired Pretty Pumpkins set.  I added some diecut leaves and swirls from the two-toned Peaceful Pines cardstock, and a few sequins for fun:

My card base is Timid Tiger; I stamped birthday sentiments from Cutest Crew in Timid Tiger and Early Espresso:

And since it is a birthday card, I am entering it at the Krafty Chicks birthday challenge!  

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
