Be teachable. You're not always right.

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

The title reminds me of our family....You're entitled to your opinion. Doesn't mean you're right. Haha

Anyhoo, my moms friend mails her a package of newspaper clippings every month. The package usually includes different napkins. 

I thought this one was pretty, so I made one to send moms friend, and this card for my mom.


I used the napkin technique.

This is the one I sent moms friend.

 

The greeting is really a soft pink like the card base, the same color as the first card! I added the butterfly.

I am linking the first card up at:

Beautiful Blossoms #4 - Anything Goes Florals with Optional Mood Board

Double Trouble #136 - Celebrate a Special Lady/ Flowers/ and they're partnering with Beautiful Blossoms April 15-27

Snippets Playground #452 - does 1/4 of a napkin count as a snippet?

The Paper Funday #52 - Anything Goes with Optional Twist: Flower Power

Triple B April Challenge - Birds, Butterflies and Blooms

That's all I got!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!

Yes - a quarter of a napkin counts as a snippet!!!!! You’ve made 2 lovely cards with the napkins.

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. x

Both are really pretty and I love this technique myself, I have a DT project down the road a bit using this technique, I imagine your mother's friend loved the card made with her napkin!!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Beautiful Blossoms and Triple B!

How fun and I'm glad to hear that at least 2 people read an actual newspaper these days. Your cards are lovely, I have several napkins to try this technique but something else always distracts me. I will try it this weekend! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous cards with us at The Beautiful Blossoms and Paper Funday Challenges.

Lovely card Gail! I reckon that quarter of a napkin can be a snippet - after all, you're upcycling something that was designed for a different purpose.

What a pretty card, I haven't done the napkin technique in a long time, although still have a stash of them that I just can't get rid of! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing with us at Double Trouble.

I have a small collection of napkins for the intent to do a napkin technique, which I have not yet done. You have inspired me to try this technique, both cards are beautiful and special for your Mom and her friend. Thanks for sharing your cards with us at Double Trouble and Beautiful Blossoms.
