This technique was posted on the old forum and I really liked the idea, so though I would re-post it here with the steps.
So first your going to pick your serviette I have some gorgeous elephant serviettes and thought I would use one of these.
Step 1 - cut you serviette to size. My serviette has 4 elephants in a row so I cut this section in half. Two elephants..

Step 2 - Carefully peel the back layers off - most serviettes have two back layers, be careful with the last one as the serviette is very thin and delicate.

Step 3 - Cut your cardstock to size so it is about an inch bigger on all sides, and place the cardstock on a thick pad of paper, I used kids craft paper which comes in a pad, however you can use really anything. Place the book on your ironing board.
Step 4 - Cover the cardstock with gladwrap, try and get all the wrinkles out

Step 5 - Place the serviette on top of the gladwrap and cover with about two sheets of paper.
Step 6 - Your iron should be on a moderate heat setting. Iron the paper for about 15 seconds or so. Gently peel back the paper and if it looks like it has adhered then gently peel the paper away. You may need to give it another iron if it looks like it hasn't quite adhered. Cut the excess gladwrap and cardstock away and there you go.
Use on your cards or layouts
