So beautiful and full of great ideas. When I was little we called the little pictures you showed at the end , scraps , to put into scrap books. Mum would let us hose one scrap every week from our local shop. Oh the joy of having something so beautiful . I was born in the late forties so there were not many luxuries around then, and everything was utilitarian and a bit drab.

I really enjoyed this technique using napkins.

Beautiful..all three.Love hearing about your childhood treasures.Mine were paper dolls.

Nice artwork, lovely classical music. Thank you!!!!

Lovely results you got here with the napkins. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a lovely array of napkins! I also love your tip for separating the napkin layers using glue! I learn so much from you wonderful ladies (and gents!) on KZfaq!

Yes ma'am, glitter makes EVERYTHING more special. Stuck at home I'm, like everyone else, looking for things to do, and if it's creative and expressive, all the better. I have no picture napkins like yours, but I do have a black and white Paisley-ish napkin that I'm gonna try this technique with. It looks like fun and you, as always, make it look so easy. TYFS, MK from the Southern California desert. ♥️🌵🏜️

Wow, they turned out so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing and teaching your art. Beautiful!

Oh wow, the glue on the fingers to separate the layers was a wonderful idea. Love the stenciling under the napking. I would have never thought of that. Love the way you ink your edges. Too cool. They are all awesome. So glad I found your channel.

Ina you are a true artist. It was a pleasure watching you work.

Just beautiful!! I love decoupaging with napkins!

Lovely art and music .

Gorgeous napkin art! Love all of them! Thank you for sharing!

so interesting My goodness you are so talented I could watch your videos for hours

Since I have so many nice napkins I am watching this again for inspiration as to what I can do with them! Thank you, Ina!

I am watching some older videos today because I need some positive creativity in my life today! This really helped. The pieces are lovely. Thanks, Ina.

Just beautiful.

love what you did..... excellent!

I can’t say which piece I like best; maybe the one with micro beads. You achieved a brightness by placing the napkin over the yellow board. The art became luminous with that yellow sunrise/sunset effect showing thru. Lovely.

I enjoyed your tutorial. I liked how you added your own art to the napkin design and used many mixed media products. I also enjoyed the classical music.

Oh Ina, you did amazing things with those napkins! Your color choices and glitter were perfect. I recognized your new stencils. What a wonderful package from your friend. The napkins are gorgeous! I can imagine how those die cuts would have been so special to you as a child. I have always loved delicate paper bits too, which probably explains why we like paper crafts to this day.

STUNNING!!!!! I’m so impressed

Clever girl, using this napkins in this way wasn`t just a simple way to use a napkin. You`ve made the images your own. Never thought about putting down some pattern before I glue the napkin on, I always make sure that I keep the background fairly light that the image is clearly visible but having some stencil pattern on areas where nothing goes on..... that is a really good idea. It`s a pleasure to know you and it was so worth it to send you all that stuff.

So glad I just found you on KZfaq. I these small canvases with the napkins + your artistic and imaginative embellishments. I can't wait to make some for my grandchildren's monthly ATC's.

They came out beautiful Ina.

Beautiful canvases, fun way to use napkins!!! Wonderful die cuts. tyfs xoxoxo Angela

Just beautiful!

oooooh LOVED your work here.....Beautiful outcome. Will stay tuned for other inspirations. Thank you. Peace, sass

Absolutely beautiful!

Ina, I always love your videos, but the die cuts were so special. Like you, as a child i loved them. In NZ we called them stickers, but saved them in little boxes for swapping. I still have a 1950's chocolate box with a collection from that period. Occassionally I have added to it. I also have a few sheets of the german ones, which are really beautiful. This was a little trip down memory lane. Thank you

These are stunning. I have loads of beautiful napkins over from my decoupage faze. And yes, when I was a child, we used to collect those little ‘scraps’ as we called them in England. I haven’t seen any for years and I was delighted to see the ones your friend sent you. TFS. And I’ve subscribed. 😃👍

Beautiful work, a true artist!

hoy encontre tu canal, eres muy clara en tus enseñanzas, lindos trabajos, gracias.

Neat,neat,neat!!!!! Soon i will try my hand at these

I so enjoyed this video. It gave me some more ideas for using some of the absolutely gorgeous napkins I've bought off Ebay. I really enjoyed hearing the story from your childhood, it was very sweet. I will definitely check out Andrea's channel. Thanks for sharing your talent, I almost always learn something new!

I like your work. The great thing about it is that it doesn’t stop at the placing of the napkin....it’s the other touches you add, and knowing where to place them and when to stop. Wonderful !

Wow . . awesome job 😎 😎 😎

Wonderful video Ina. I love how you used napkins here on small canvas boards. I would stick some decorative ribbon or tape to the backs and hang them in sets of three and four. I am so glad I watched this. Thank you very much for sharing your art. Hugs xxx

Those turned out absolutely stunning! The treasures from Andrea are super sweet too. I am sure it took you down memory lane. Hugs and love to you!

Beautiful !!! Thank you for sharing.

Those are beautiful napkins that she sent to you! So many designs that I have never seen before. I loved how you used them

First time here, enjoyed your art and your video so much. Thank you. 🙏

Oh your napkin art is fabulous tfs Ina I too had a collection of them, we called them swaps as we would swap ones we had a lot of for ones we did not have, I loved them, thank you for bring back that lovely memory

Thank you for showing me something new, I just love how you used napkins to create such prettiness. . .

I absolutely LOVE these!!! I'm JUST learning to use napkins like this! can't wait to try these techniques!! So glad I found your channel!!!

These are lovely! I have a stack of napkins that I have used on altered book pages. You have inspired me to get them out again with a better purpose! Thanks for sharing your talent!

Gorgeous!, very well done.

Hi Ina Solsbery! Thank you for sharing your art work with us. I enjoyed watching your video! You´re doing an awesome job! This is a new world opening for me. My head is exploding with all the ideas I´m receiving right now. I love it! I did my first napkin experience yesterday by ioning them on a 120gr paper, but it got krinkels in the middel. I think that came from the soft part of my ion board. But I will not give up. You inspire me to try again. Keep up doing this great crafting. May the Lord bless you witn more of this wonderful creativity. And how nice from Andrea to send you all those items. Those last ones, the pictures, are my favorites also. They are indeed from our childhood moments. I´m happy to see that they still make them. I will definitily visit Andrea´s channel. I´m sure she will inspire me also. I wish you good look with your art work & since we´re still in the month January, I would like to also wish you a prosper 2017!Be blessed Ina Solsbery! Sending you warm hugs from Surinam!

awesome work , love it

So very nice and unique! Napkins are so versatile and too often overlooked. I now plan on using all these techniques, but I'll use my canvas paper as my substrate, then adhere the paper to the cover of a notebook. I love working with canvas paper, because it can take many wet mediums very well without warping. Thanks for the awesome inspiration and for sharing!

Love the way these turned out. They are beautiful. 😍

These are lovely. I am inspired by all the layers.

I love this channel. Just the right mix of crazy ideas, inspiration and practical advice. Plus the music is never boring!

Your skill, artistry, and techniques are brilliantly creative...I just love watching you “build” the art piece...just when I think, oh, its done, you add more and more

Beautiful, you have a knack for layering texture upon texture. I really enjoy watching you create!

Thanks for the glue tip to separate the layers. I just used fall leaf napkins in a pumpkin themed collage. Kathy B.

Very inspiring to see what you did and how you did it. They're very pretty. Thank you. ~ Lisa

I love watching you create, I see something new I can incorporate into my work each time I watch like using a straight edge when you ink the edges. I always manage to get ink farther into the picture than I plan but nest time I will be using your idea. I can't pick a favorite because all three are pretty but I think the black white and yellow is my favorite. Thanks for sharing, Miss Ina.

Wow those turned out just beautifully! Thanks for the tip with the napkins, it's not always very easy to take those layers off, but now I know an easier way! Yay! 😉😊

Oh My Ina They Are Fantastic, What A Nice Way To Use Napkins With Picture's & Pattern's On....I am going to try this. What An Insperation You Are xoxoxox Keep Crafting oxoxoxox

They are just beautiful Ina :D and indeed a great way to use all them napkins we hoard lol!! Thanks so much for another inspirational video :D Wishing you a wonderful weekend :D Love & Hugsss xxx

Your napkins are lovely just the way they are. Then you add so much to make these look magnificent! I will watch this again as I am so inspired by your techniques. Thanks for sharing☺️

I love the work you do, very beautiful. I live in Germany with my sister who works on an American base as a counselor for middle school kids. Germany has such beautiful napkins, I love shopping for them! So hard to just choose a few!

I'm glad das ich sie gefunden habe :)

You do wonderful work. So grateful I found you!

Beautiful

Thank you, I really enjoyed watching what I can do with all of my paper napkins

I love that you did them on small canvases. I've seen them in art journals and on cards but this turned out so pretty. Thanks so much!

Thank you, Ina, for this wonderful video. You have collected so many handy techniques and use them so beautifully. You have inspired me to try a few new things in making my cards.

Gorgeous! I love ur beautiful spirit 🙏🏻✌🏻💚

Great little pieces of art Ina! I like it that you started with the stencils. You immediately created a soft background for the napkins! I also loved how you made the black border on the African canvas, I will copy that! Andrea's die cuts take me back in time too, in the Netherlands we call them 'poesieplaatjes'. I didn't know they were still for sale! Your Johann Strauss music reminds me of André Rieu. I took my mother to his concert in Maastricht a few weeks ago, as a gift for her birthday. Thanks Ina!

Love your art so very much and you have inspired me to start making art again after not being well enough to do much - Thank you. I wanted to share a Tip for removing layers from Napkins it is to use a glue stick (press the under side of the napkin gently onto a glue stick and pull gently. It works well. I enjoying looking through your wonderful pieces of fabulous things.

Amazing!! Love to watch you work,you inspire me to be creative 😍

Just wonderful, I absolutely love the napkins your friend sent you! Wow the die cuts are awesome!

You do beautiful work. Tyfs

Oh my, I am so excited about this technique. I have been collecting beautiful napkins for years which I have used as part of backgrounds for mixed media canvases. I wanted to do more and have been looking at youtube videos, unsatisfied. THIS ONE meets the mark! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Will definitely be trying these on the small canvases I already have, knowing i would want to use them for something. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more from your generous sharing. Thank You, Thank You, and Thank You.
