I recently read a tutorial about making background paper with paper napkins and cling wrap. Shortly after that one of my friends brought a snack to my house accompanied by these colorful napkins. I just had to give the technique a try! I think they came out pretty good! For this card I used a 4 x 4 piece of Whisper White card stock. I put a small piece of cling wrap over that, with the pretty paper napkin on top. Cover with a piece of scrap and press it with a medium iron. The cling wrap melts and holds the layers together. Then I trimmed the excess about 1/2 inch from the Whisper White, added some snail adhesive and wrapped the excess to the back side! Background done!
Very cool! I love these bright, tropical looking cards.
