Father's Day card with a stitched fabric paper background, stitched green leather leaf and fun round greeting

This card has the same fabric paper which I used on my last card.  It has all over stitching in a variety of thread colours.  I trimmed it to size using my wavy cutter on the top and bottom.  I adhered this large background to my large ivory card which I created to fit in a large envelope from my stash.  I die cut a large tag, colour washed it with coordinating colours, adhered several pieces of torn dictionary pages and then embossed with my Scripty (SU) embossing folder.  I added some dark green ink to highlight the edges and the embossing.  I added yellow stitching to my green leather leaf (SX) and then adhered it to my tag using double sided tape.  I added a red ribbon to finish the tag before mounting it to my card using 3D foam tape.  I found this round greeting in my stash - it combines a round greeting with  a leaf and acorn image (Meljens Designs).  I watercoloured the image, layered it onto a coordinating red die cut circle and mounted it overlapping my tag on the lower right hand corner.  I tied a little piece of kraft twine to the stem of my leaf to finish off my card.
