Frozen Napkins????

Today's card used the napkin/freezer paper technique.  

For those of you not familiar with this, you will need a napkin, a piece of plastic coated freezer paper, and a piece of parchment paper.

1. Cut a piece of plastic coated freezer paper the size of the napkin/napkin piece you want to work with.  Cut napkin if desired, then separate so you ONLY have the top layer.  Cut a piece of parchment paper a bit bigger than the rest.
2. Lay out your freezer paper plastic side up on a table that has been covered with a towel & heat-proof craft mat.  Lay napkin (face side up) on top of freezer paper & smooth out wrinkles.  Cover all with parchment paper & press with dry iron set to medium heat.

Use the resulting "napkin paper" as you wish!

CARD FRONT:

1. Fussy cut the design from the "napkin paper" for the focal.  
2. Prepare a piece of brown card stock by running it through a wood-grain embossing folder & then inking it.  I added it to my card front to form a "table" for my focal to sit on.  
3. Lay the focal in place and lightly trace around it with an Inktense pencil - then remove the focal & use a water brush to create a bit of a shadow.  (I tried to get more shadow on one side, but need to work with these more to be able to really achieve the look I want!)
4. I replaced my focal & glued it in place.
5. I stamped a sentiment on the focal.  NOTE: the napkin absorbed the ink from the stamped sentiment, causing it to "bleed" a bit.  Next time I would try covering the napkin with clear gesso if I wanted to stamp on it!

The inside is more of the same - just a bit less of it!  I cut the pumpkin off at the bottom & found I needed to and some darker ink near the bottom to keep it from looking too weird - just added it with a foam applicator.
