Festive Friday is celebrating Galentine's Day. The challenge involves picking three things from their list. I chose friendship sentiment, hearts, and ribbon.
My best friend came over the other day for dinner and brought me a pack of Valentine paper napkins as a hostess gift. So I decided to use one to make a card for her. I peeled off the top layer of the napkin and attached it to cs with ModPodge. The sentiment is heat embossed, die cut and wrapped around the napkin panel with pink ribbon. I added the panel to the card base and framed it with a pierced rectangle frame die.
This same girlfriend also orders a few Valentine cards from me each year. This is one of them. It's going off to Shopping our Stash challenge "Love is in the Air" as I've had these dies for ages and they needed to be used!
A very CAS card! I sprinkled pink and red brushos on mixed media cs and spritzed with water. When dry, I die cut the heart and the sentiment, and added them to a cream card base.

What a great use of the pretty Valentine paper napkin, Susan! I'm sure your best friend will love the card.
ReplyDeleteThe pretty brusho colors pop against the cream background. The font style of the die-cut sentiment goes well with the delicate die-cut heart.
