Well, Riley has gone and dressed a Turkey.........what do you think? I think Amelia Bedelia helped him! Anyway, I am very embellishment challenged- and so this was a stretch but I really enjoyed it.
I kept the same layout- changed the colors (more boy colors, don't you think?)....made 2/3 of the DP myself- one is ribbon zig-zagged together (the plaid) and the other is the Rt side- Bandana- which is a Technique Junkies technique and I have also seen it done by a Ranger instructor- love it too........anyway, I zig-zagged them all together with Sulky thread that is shiney- it is for machine embroidery....and then attached the buttons and flowers. I made a leaf BG for my flowers with the plaid ribbon, and left off the sentiment altoghther......I had a few in mind, but none seemed just right...I will have to keep looking- or maybe I should get out my Just Rite and make something up.....that is a thought,.......
I have about 3 cards I want to CASE, but this took me about 2 hours, so now I need to go make dinner........
Thanks for a great challenge Beth! What a wonderful gallery!

This is so fun! Love your silky Sulky stitching and that fab bandana technique! So fun that you referred to Amelia Bedelia...we loved her when Matthew was younger!

I bet this is awesome IRL. I love that you stitched on it. Great embellishments. I too have a hard time with embellies. I don't know why. Can't ever figure out where to put them. Love your card.
