The crested chicken eating the cupcake in this stamp set cracks me up! This whole bundle is funny! I like the added color from the Tailored Tag punches in the background. This is a great card for using up scraps of paper. And that chicken! Ha!

- For the Vellum Layer, the designer of this card sewed the edges with a sewing machine. You could also use a Stitched Rectangle Die or use your the piercing tip of your Take a Pick Tool to punch a border along the edge. Or leave it plain. Either way, adhesive shows through vellum, so add adhesive strategically so it will be covered by the chick and add to the card.
