As you can see with this next photo I simply took the cheap white napkin and worked with that.
The first step was to make it more stable so I added it to a piece of Sparkle N Sprinkle Super Adhesive sheet. Then I took my lavender and purple inks and added some color to it. And, the last step to make it even more stronger was to cover the whole thing with my Versamark clear ink pad, sprinkled on some Gina K. Designs clear embossing powder and heat set it.
I then placed this over the card base of Gina K. Designs Lovely Lavender card stock. Next I added some lace along each edge and in the center added a die cut design of hearts from Whimsy Stamps.
The lace was also then covered with a row of pearls on each side of the napkin embossed strip.
The floral design and sentiment on the bottom of the card is from the Unity Stamp Company with a new set called Peace, Courage & Memories which is illustrated by Gina K. Designs. I used my new Tombow markers to color directly to the floral stamp and using my MISTI got it to take the color by repeatedly adding the colors of inks. This design was then cut out with a new die from Cheery Lynn Designs. I only used one of the dies in the set. And, I finished the card design by adding some lavender rhinestones to the floral image.

I am also entering this in the following challenges:
I accidentally deleted all of my emails so if you wanted to hear from me about something I guess they are gone forever as I cannot find them. You will have to contact me again then. Hopefully, I have all of the main information in them somewhere else. But I did a search engine to find all of the challenges I wanted to enter and sent the links to myself. I don't know if you have ever sent yourself emails, but it seems I am doing that more often of late. I think it might be an age thing for me. LOL
Anyway, I did learn how to resize my photos and at least some things are getting back to normal. And, yesterday I got good report from the doctor so I guess I am good to go healthwise for awhile again.
Thanks for stopping in and for all your comments. I am always so happy to see what you have to say. Take care and I hope your week is going great. I know it sure goes fast of late.
God bless,
Verna

Beautiful - what a clever idea with the napkin. The embossing makes it look wet in the photo - a lovely shine! Very creative Verna! Glad you got good news from the doc., the e.mails you'll recover in time!

Beautiful card, Verna! That is an amazing background you have create with the napkin, inks, and embossing powder. Thanks for joining the Double D, "Lavender and Lace" Challenge.
Wow, LOVE what you have done with a paper napkin. Great texture, and that hearts die is gorgeous. This is a lovely sympathy card, Verna. Well done!
Oh, and thanks for playing along with us this week over at Mod Squad. Great take on the challenge!!!
You were very determined, Verna, and it turned out just beautiful! The napkin gives a nice texture, and the heart die is so pretty. Every day I see something new to me, so it's always interesting. Thank you for sharing in our Lavender and Lace challenge at Double D!
Such tenacity. I would have stopped at I don't have a printed napkin. Not my girl, Verna. Wonderful design and card. Love how you always are willing to try something new. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Dies R Us Challenge Blog. We hope you share more with us in future challenges.

Very Pretty. You just keep doing more and more with your cards.
Sorry about the email thing. I would be completely done in.
Compete?! I think the fact that you created your own handmade designer napkin FAR excels over my store-bought one, Verna! Your creation is stunning! Thank you for playing again in #10! Hugs, Darnell
