I was gone for a few days so I got behind in everything this week but I did manage to take some leftovers from another card and with that I added a die cut turkey to make a simple Thanksgiving card. I am entering this in the Dies R Us Challenge #133-Give Thanks and/or Turkey. I chose to use the turkey as well as a Thanksgiving sentiment.
The turkey die is from Cheery Lynn Designs. And the sentiment is from Gina K. Designs. I tried to embellish the turkey with markers and I also wanted sort of a shadow look for the sentiment. I may not have succeeded exactly as I had it in my mind as for some reasons my hands were more shaky. In fact, it has been an achy day for me everywhere on my body so perhaps I should have just left it as it came from the die. But what is done, is done. I hope you don't think it too terrible. I also added some gems to sort of match the plaid paper.
Well, have a good evening. I got a late start but I am slowly getting all my Thanksgiving cards ready to mail. Then it is cleaning and baking for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. So I may be missing in action a lot in the next week or so.
Until next time God bless you,
Verna
