Project of the week - Felted cardstock

Hi everyone! It's my turn to create a project of the week and this time I decided to go with felted cardstock.

I found these really cool coffee cocktail napkins at my dollar store and snapped them up with this technique in mind. So, first off lets grab our supplies.

You'll need a cocktail napkin of what ever design you choose. Plus some cling wrap, white cardstock and an iron.

Separate the white backing from the napkin.






Then cut off a bit of cling wrap the size of your cardstock and sandwich them all together. 

Using a dry iron, fuse everything together.  Then create your project.

I did the reverse stamping technique on this so that I could stack the mugs. The top one is the way the original stamp looks. They are colored with Copic markers. I cut the top one out and popped it up using foam tape. Brown ribbon and cardstock used to layer and add interest to the final project.

You can find the coffee mug and sentiment here.

Hydrangea Thank you

Hi everyone. I saw this sketch come across from My Favorite Things and thought I'd give it a try.

I used the felted cardstock technique to make the background for this card. You can find the instructions to do this at this link at Splitcoast stampers. I picked up the napkins from Joanne's about two months ago with the idea of doing this technique.

The sentiment and the background words on the white circle are stamps from MFT. I used thistle ink from colorbox to stamp the words as it is a really close match to the soft lilac colors within the hydrangeas in the napkin.

Sentiment is stamped on vellum and then two tiny lavender pearls are added to the end of the fishtail banner.

All purple cardstock is from Bazzill.
