Hi there, stamplings!
How are you all doing? Are you running out of Never-Before-Used Schtuff? That would me make me so happy for you! If you are here looking for NBUS Challenge #10, please click here.
I've scheduled this post, but I'm popping in to once again thank you for your emails, comments, and cards! When I'm not sleeping or toddling about having exchanged my wits (few though they are) for a walker, I'm enjoying your notes and they have really lifted myblad spirits!
I hope you are having fun playing with your NBUS and possibly with bubble wrap or any other OOTO (out-of-the-ordinary) materials to make your cards. I know time is an issue for so many of you with full-time jobs, young families, and DT assignments, so you can't just frolic about tossing marmalade and light bulb filaments on your cards.
My card today is made with a napkin. We've all seen amazingly beautiful napkins in boutiques which are not to be used as napkins ~ how dare you! ~ but to be used as art supplies! It's been done before; in fact, I've done it before. This card was made quite a while ago and I never got around to posting it.

I just realized that the faintly drawn grapes look a bit like bubble wrap! If you look closely, you will see that I fussy-cut the napkin around the design from where the straight line shows to the right of the grape bunch around to the left of the large leaf. The textured lavender card base makes a lovely underskirt. The piercing you see is a part of the actual nappykin.
Napkins are usually two layers, as this one was. I did my fussy-cutting before I separated the layers and then I adhered the top layer to the card base with some Tombow clear glue. It doesn't take much and I didn't want it to buckle, so I just laid a very fine bead along the outer edges and then a few dots on the cut portion.

Short and sweet today. I'll leave you with this updated photo of the wee baby hummingbird which the Mister took on Tuesday. He (the Mister) has been a trooper dashing outside and flailing his arms every time we hear a scrub jay start to caw. We are thinking (hoping) that baby looks like he is almost getting too big to be an inviting morsel. Fingers crossed!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
