I chose this napkin because it reminds me of where I'd like to be every day -- relaxing on the beach. I only can hope that it gives my friend a warm fuzzy! And here is the card I made for my long time friend's birthday (Germaine).
Begin by separating the napkin layers until you have only the top, colored layer. Apply ModPodge over a piece of cardstock with a brush, then place the napkin with color side up and spread ModPodge over the napkin. (I used a sponge brush--really cheap). When it is all covered, set aside to dry. Be sure that you have 2 of the same images on your napkin piece, or else do two napkins. That way you will have images to pop up. And don't worry about wrinkles in the paper......it really looks neat that way.
After the pieces are dry, simply cut to the desired size, ink the edges, mat onto another piece of cardstock and tape to the card front. Then cut out some of the smaller images to raise up with pop dots. The modpodge really makes the napkin stiff and easy to pop.
You will have lots of fun finding beautiful napkin scenes for your cards. I look after holidays when they go on sale. Or use coupons!
Hope you like this technique and try it out. It is addictive!

What a fabulous scene Sandy. Love the technique and the result you achieved.
Oh, Sandy! This is beautiful! Love the texture - both from the napkin and the mod podge, but I especially like your fussy cutting to layer it like the new decoupage style that has come out. Germaine will love your card. Thank you for sharing your tutorial, too! hugs, de

Hi Sandy, I wanted to pop over and say thank you. Your lovely comment on my blog yesterday really made me smile - thank you so much - it means a lot to me when I get comments like that.
I love your card - I haven't seen much napkin decoupage before and this is so pretty. It looks like it has a suede like texture - really beautiful.
I would love to be beside the sea too and I envy your dollar bin finds - wish we had those over here lol! hugs Karen x

This is really amazing. It looks like a piece of art that I would want to display. A terrific technique. Thanks so much for sharing with us at ABC Challenges this week.
Wow! This is really amazing! I hope you framed this work of art!
Here's another technique that it's been a while since I tried it. MY last try did not turn out too well...However, would you believe...(this is true honest) in some swap mail that I received today. There was a pretty paper napkin in the envelope...Okay, You have inspired me again...
