Thanksgiving Turkey

Hi, thanks for your visit today!

I had a great time making this card! It was fun! I can imagine that if turkeys could speak, would surely be on its knees like the one in my drawing , trying to avoid its fate in the next weekend:) As always, I used one of my drawings. I know the turkeys are a different color, but I thought I had to paint this one with bright colors and much glitter in its feathers.

Grateful turkey ~ Thanksgiving

I really had fun making this card. It is my "Grateful Turkey", an "EdithDesign" drawing. When I was drawing this cute turkey, I thought that if turkeys could say something, would be this sentence:) When I finished the sketch I looked for the appropriate papers and card stocks to match and gradually added details.

I finished decorating the card with a "flower-lettuce" over the ribbon on the left. The glittered turkey has also a lettuce, which has crystal effect, on its wings.

Jo and Joe, the little pilgrims...

<>

These are my little pilgrims, Jo and Joe. I made this card with an EdithDesigns drawing. I used Bazzill cardstock and a beautiful paper suitable for Thanksgiving. I printed out the cute Little Pilgrims 3 times, to give them a 3D effect. Each layer was delineated, hand-painted and carefully cut out by hand. I painted the images with Caran d'Ache Watercolor. I used crystal effect in Joe's hat’s buckle and in the shoes of both and I added a beautiful organza ribbon. I sewed the layers of paper and cardboard both outside and inside with beautiful stitching on my sewing machine, using gold silk thread, which gives to the card a very elegant touch. I really enjoyed making this card!

I will enter this card in Mojo Monday Challenge.
