Napkin Card Art

[lsg]

I have started another hobby, card making. I saw a YouTube video of someone using a beautiful paper nakin on the front of a card. I only have cheap white paper napkins, so had to figure out a way to use what I had along with my ink jet printer to get that texture and look. I got the idea of spraying "Spray & Stick" on cardstock. I just sprayed a 8.5" X 11" white cardstock with the Spray & Stick, postitioned my white paper nakin on the cardstock and sent it through the printer. I used public domain pictures and graphics from PrintMaster to print four scenes on each napkin. The napkin pictures have the look and feel of canvas. After the ink had dried, I covered the pictures with another paper napkin and ran a hot iron over the top to set the ink and glue. I will use my paper cutter to cut out each and position it on the front of a card. Here are two of my prints.

I've never heard of doing that. How cool!

There are several methods of adhering the paper nakin to cardstock, but this is the video that inspired my project:
