Art Neko napkin art on a card

Today it is my turn to post something on the 

Art Neko Blog,

but as I cannot post too many pictures there,

so here more about the background of my card

with a paper napkin. This happens to be the 

technique of the month on the Art Neko stampgroup.

i found this napkin in my stash and liked to use it for 

a card. I am sure there will be more, for I have lots left over.

I cut a quarter from the napkin and peeled of

the top layer. The white piece you can throw out.

Next I glued the napkin on a white piece of paper.

When it was drie I took out an embossing

folder and ran it through my big shot.

Here is how it looked coming out of the 

embossing folder.

I colored the raised parts with fossilized amber

distress ink and a blending tool.

For the center I used 2 stamps.

First I used the fossilized amber distress ink again

to stamp the text image on the background.

Next i stamped the Birds on a Blossom Branch in

black and added sticky gemstones in the heart 

of the flower.

i finished of the card with a gold ribbon, no sentiment

yet, for this card can be used for any occasion.

I will add it when needed.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day.
