Thanksgiving Card- Punch Art Ribbon Turkey

I love, love, love this card. I made 6 of them... one for each of my girls, my sister in New York, and my nieces and nephews on my husband's side. I wish I could take credit for the adorable turkey but I can't. You can find the directions for him on Lynn Pratt's blog here.

I used Pear Pizzazz for my card base and SU! Spice Cake DSP for my card front. Since I had some small strips of the DSP left over I flipped them over and matted them on Pool Party for that something extra. My gretting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes... the most versatile and must have set ever.

I will apologize for the lighting. I tried to get some close-ups of him and they just didn't turn out. I live in central Ohio and we are in a rainy holding pattern so there is not a bit on natural light coming in.

I will note that one difference in my turkey is that I used the flame from the Cupcake Builder punch for his wattle (I am just going to go with that but I am not sure that is the correct name for it).

Happy Thanksgiving

I played along with the MOJO Monday sketch challenge and I have to say I am quite pleased with the results. Check out that perfectly roasted turkey! Want to make one of your own? Check out Lynn Pratt's blog Stamp-n-Design. I am not sure where I first saw this but I remembered seeing it and searched for it so I could use it this Thanksgiving.

I used Very Vanilla for my card base and inked the edges with Soft Suede. I added a More Mustard card front and layered a 3 inch circle from the SU! Spice Cake DSP, which I also inked. Isn't it so pretty. I wanted to bring out the blue in, SU!'s In Color Pool Party so I choose that for my pennant. My turkey was made using the bird punch and owl punch, both from SU! I inked the bird a little, used the Designer Label Punch for my Whisper White serving tray after I inked it, and popped it all up with dimensionals. This is layered onto Very Vanilla cardstock with the edges also inked up. I will admit if I had some silver cardstock on hand the tray would have been silver. I added my sentiment from the SU! set Thankful For. Since I didn't want a bow like the sketch, I decided to add 3 Very Vanilla brads.

I really love how it turned out and soon it will be in my Aunt Peggy's mailbox:)
