This card probably doesn't make much sense unless you would happen to know my brother-in-law! What began as "marketing" has turned into a uniform for him. (He is a farmer who sells produce to upscale restaraunts- thus the red bowtie.) He travels so much (for the business) that the family has not seen him in any regular clothes for 10+ years! This birthday card is a tribute to him- a thank you for all that he does for the family business.
I made the origami shirt from TLC119 just using a slightly larger paper to start. The bib overalls were freehand cut. Straps are WW punch. The little tag on the pocket is a 1/4 in. square punch.The bowtie is made from 2 loops of ribbon and handstitched together. Stitching was done on a sewing machine.
Thanks so much for looking!
Edit: This also fits LSC121 because I had NEVER used the denim or sentiment stamps before! (ashamed and a little embarrassed)
