The main inspiration for this card is the recipient, a good friend of mine who is a wonderful seamstress AND collects roosters. Another inspiration was this great shadow box card using the tag punch by jwjazz: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I had a lot of fun incorporating as many sewing oriented ideas as I could. A big thanks to JulieHRR for the Faux Stitching technique, the closest I will come to sewing. It's hard to tell, but I used the Faux Linen technique for the rooster layer. The Paisley works well for the fabric look, and the argyle Faux Suede top layer (made with liquid applique) also includes French Script but it's very faint. I'll let the LA dry longer next time, because the classic Artichoke ink kept rubbing off. :( The buttons were sponged with craft Elegant Eggplant, and the brads were sponged with the yellow ochre chalk ink.
