Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! I used a brand new turkey stamp from Just For Fun Stamps called Wild Turkey. We have had a flock of turkeys around our neighborhood for the past few months. It has been fun seeing them!
I colored the turkey using colored pencils, fussy cut it and pop dotted it to the background. The background was made by using a weave embossing folder and then swiping the raised areas with brown ink. I cut the leaves using the Memory Box Fresh Foliage die, cut from an inked background. I stamped the saying on the Spellbinders Fancy Tag die and sponged brown ink on the edges. The background was layered on red and brown card stock.
I hope that you will join in this month's challenge -- the theme is to use red, orange and brown on your project. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Gorgeous make, April! Especially love the basket weave background - fabulous idea!
What a regal looking turkey! Fabulous card and love the background with that woven pattern too. It's always neat to watch turkeys out in the wild.
Thanks for joining us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies challenge this month!

I so love that turkey and your basket weave background looks great with it, love the colors in the foliage die too, lovely card all around!
Wonderful card! I do love the texture in the coloring and all that texture in the background too. Great turkey card!
Hi April, what a beautiful Thanksgiving card. The turkey is beautiful and love the background, so much texture! We have a group who come down our street once in awhile, they are pretty ugly and so funny looking. Drives our dog nuts!! Have a great week.
