All occasion card featuring a rooster with some hand stitching, cut & flipped background, ribbon and a die cut button

 This is my third card in this series featuring rooster images created from a paper napkin and hand decorated paper.  I used the same background technique as I did on my first card.   In this case, I watercoloured and stamped the oatmeal pieces so they contrasted very nicely with the front of the paper.  I cut a tag from one of my scraps from the first card and added the rooster image.  I used a push pin to make evenly spaced holes all the way around and then added stitching using red embroidery thread.  I created a tool for making the holes using a strip of plastic canvas laid over a strip of old mouse pad which works really well.  I used the same red ribbon using the same technique and the adhered my tag over it.  I added a red die cut button with a bit of yellow seam binding.
