Pretty Napkin Card

Loved making this card.  Several months ago I saw a lovely floral card which was made using a paper dinner napkin.  This card was made using Saran Wrap and an iron -- a little time consuming and awkward for me.  Last week I saw another technique using a glue stick.  Hurrah!  This was the one for me.

So I quickly found a beautiful spring napkin and my glue stick. There are many videos on You Tube explaining this technique.  "No-Iron Paper Napkin" and  "DIY Napkin Cards" are two that I like.

Hints:  I used a brayer to make sure the glue was evenly distributed - do not use the brayer on the napkin side as the napkin might tear.   I waited for the glue to dry before I trimmed the edges.  This wait may not be necessary, but I wanted to be careful.  If you are going to use a paper trimmer to cut the piece, be sure the glue is dry and place the napkin side down.  As I quickly learned, cutting the piece with scissors is a better option as there is less chance of tearing the napkin. 

I was going to add a sentiment, but changed my mind.  I like the card as is, but also think it needs something.  Any ideas?
