    On my first card, I’m using the adorable Tommy Turkey. This little guy just makes me smile 🙂 I know turkeys aren’t usually this colorful but I wanted him all decked out in his Thanksgiving finery. We have a flock of wild turkeys that come through our back yard pretty regularly and I can assure you they are nowhere near as cute & colorful as this little guy. After coloring, I did a little out of the box on the tips of his feathers and sponged a little color around the inside while he was still in the die. I added a rusty brown frame and a few layers behind him. The stamped, die cut leaves and greeting are from Our Daily Bread designs. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    After adding a white die cut frame on top, I white embossed some snowflakes on a piece of blue paper from the ODBD Christian Faith paper collection then attached it underneath my image. The greeting was stamped on a small oval and a stamped, die cut blue snowflake was attached on top. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

  • Thanksgiving Turkey

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment

    The challenge on today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT401) on Splitcoast is birds. A turkey is a bird, right?? Well I’m going with it. Are y’all ready for Thanksgiving? So am I. NOT!! It seems really early this year. Not good for a perpetual procrastinator. Not naming names…just sayin’

    The images are from DRS Designs. The turkey dinner was stamped, colored w/ Copic markers and cut out. I had this idea to just do a circle die cut, partly off the edge so I cut the circle out of the edge of the kraft and a  slightly smaller circle out of the turquoise layer. The sentiment was white embossed and I used a Tim Holtz clear ruler (it has the holes for piercing along one edge) to piece the holes and then I did the faux stitching w/ a white gel pen. I used a small circle die to cut the different color circles and attached a kraft strip on top and trimmed the tops of the circles. The finished card 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
