All occasion card featuring a collage background, stitching, embossed tag and a little chicakee

I started with a dark green card and trimmed one of my collages to fit.  After cutting it I found that the paper I had used as a substrate could simply be peeled off.  I guess deli paper does not take glue well.  There were enough layers that it was mostly still intact so I added a row of stitching all they way around in case the deli paper wanted to let go of everything I had adhered to the top of it.  I embossed the background added a bit of green ink around the edges to highlight the raised areas.  I found the tag in my stash.  I trimmed it, glued it to a green layer and embossed the top piece.  I added a white eyelet and paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel all the way around.  I watercoloured the fussy cut chickadee and added it to the tag. I added coordinating fiber in the eyelet and then added the tag to the front of my card using 3D foam tape.  

A few more cards to go!!
