Christmas cards featuring colourful napkins and layered greetings

I made these Christmas cards for my sister.  She owns a daycare and wanted some nice cards for her employees.  I used these beautiful napkins and added layered greetings.  The cards and envelopes were in the stash she left here a few years ago and so I dug through my Christmas napkin stash to see what would work with the 5" x 6.5" card fronts.  These ones worked perfectly!!  I used 3 napkins that featured the gift and the ornaments - one in each corner.  And 1 napkin that featured 4 different scenes with snowmen!!  I separated the layers to leave only the top imaged layer of the napkins. 

 I cut white papers that allowed enough room all the way around the images so I had a bit to fold over.  I trimmed the images to size and then glued the images to my papers folding the edges to the backs.  I trimmed coordinating cardstock layers and then glued my images to them and pressed them to keep them nice and flat. 

When I started gluing my large focal elements to my cards I found that the ones with gifts and ornaments needed card fronts that were less than stark white so I just added some diluted grayish watercolour to the outside edges of those cards and I ironed them flat once they were dry.   They worked out really well.  I added inserts with a Christmas greeting and they were ready to go!!  Therese
