Hello, Crafty Peeps!

Comfort and Hope
Napkin Decoupaged onto Chipboard
~~~~~~~
I have a slew of these really pretty cocktail napkins and as a part of my stash reduction plan, I am using them in as many ways and on as many projects as I possibly can. This current challenge was the perfect opportunity. I cut a chipboard square down to 5"x5" and applied Mod Podge® to the surface.
I then cut the portion of the napkin I was using and carefully placed it onto the chipboard. I allowed this to dry completely and then I covered it with a piece of parchment paper and used my craft iron to apply heat. The colors will deepen when heat is applied. I allowed it to dry again and then cut around the image of the Iris. I used a little Tea Dye Distress Ink™ to darken the color of the napkin just a bit and then attached it with foam squares to the face panel of my card!
The sentiments are from a set of sympathy stamps that I have had for almost 13 years now. The patterned papers were in my scraps pile and I don't remember the name of the pad from which they were torn. I was so happy to be able to make this entire project from stash items.
My teammates have created some fabulous projects and I know you will draw inspiration from them! Click HERE to play along!
HUGZ!
