Gelatos & Paper Napkins

Continuing with the gelato colored Color Me toppers, I decided I wanted to cut an aperture in the center of this card.  The question then was, what do I put behind it?  I started going through my drawer of stuff for Thanksgiving cards, and came across a small napkin with a turkey on it.  I decided that would make a great focal. for this card.

And it serves double duty since it is on the inside of the card but seen from the outside!  Here's the inside:
The tag was from my stash - stamped with a JustRite stamp from "Greatful Heart" stamp set.

For the second card, I was looking for other napkins to use as focals and came across another turkey one. Instead of messing with glue this time, I simply cut a piece of adhesive-backed fun foam to the size I wanted and then covered it with the napkin!
The background of this card was another gelato/baby wipe background.  I embossed it with an embossing folder, but did not highlight with ink this time.  I die cut a mat out of white paper using a Spellbinder's die.  Then I rounded the corners of everything to reflect the rounded corners of the die cut mat.  After inking the edges of the focal & background, I stamped the sentiment at the top & glued everything in place.  Sentiment stamp was from JustRite's "Good Friends" stamp set.
