I know, I'm always doing something a bit different, and this card is no exception! LOL I found a video on YouTube in which a woman was making cards using an iron to adhere the face of a "fancy" napkin to card stock with Cling wrap. I loved the idea, but had never tried it myself. I shared this on a couple of forums that I visit, and the next thing I knew I got a surprise shipment from Australia (thank you Sandie!!) in which I found some stunning napkins. So, here's my first attempt. I used both black and red card for the background and card itself. On the face of the card above is the napkin. It's off white, gray, and black with a bit of red up at the center top. I added half pearls (white ones colored with my Copics to match the red card stock .. Thanks for the tip Heather!) I added the bling flourish, a ribbon, and sentiment which comes from Paulette from Create with TLC. It was easy! I like the texture that the napkin adds to the card. Here's the video:
