Turkey Day

I needed to use a large sentiment for this week’s Paper Players challenge.

I stamped “Thanksgiving” in Early Espresso Ink on Pressed Petals Designer Paper, using a Sponge Dauber to ink the word. I’m laughing at my “masking” method, so here’s a picture.

Instead of using “Happy” from the stamp set, I used “Happy” from the Merry Christmas die set. By cutting the large “Happy” from Gold Foil, I made it fit the “loud” requirement of the challenge.

The turkey is also from the Day Of Thanks Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink on See A Silhouette Designer Paper. This is the easy way to color.

I used a Layering Circles Die to cut the turkey and gave him a scalloped border of Gold Foil.

The burlap paper adds texture, while still keeping the design clean & simple. I backed it with Crushed Curry Cardstock, and glued it to a Soft Suede card base.

Su, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and this card makes me smile! I love the textured burlap and that gorgeous background for Mr. Turkey! The gold sentiment just pops off your card! XX

That linen background is so striking and perfect for Thanksgiving! Love how you “colored” your turkey friend!

I am so loving this turkey against the “burlap”! The gold “Happy” sets everything off!

I love the rustic feel of your thanksgiving card Su and your pigment sprinkled turkey is fab! Paired with the gold diecut this is the perfect finishing touch.

Su, I love the wonderful texture from the burlap and it’s offset beautifully with the shine from the sentiment. Fabulous card.

I love this! I just love that turkey and that font (I know I said this before!) and stamped on the burlap, it looks so “country”! Great idea to use the die for the “Happy”, too! Really packs a punch! Thanks for making my challenge look great!
