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.
