I don't know about you, but I'm busy prepping my side dishes and getting ready for Thanksgiving, which put me in the mood to share this card. It's an accordion card with a belly band to keep it together.
Front View with Belly Band:
Accordion Card:
The card features the adorable penguins from the Gobble It Up set by The Cat's Pajamas. The penguins, domed cloche, pie, and sentiments are from that set. The wine bottle is called Pop the Cork and is also by the Cat's Pajamas. The bread basket is from the Kitchen Classics set by Crafty Secrets.
The entire scene was stamped in Memento ink, then colored with Copic markers. The cloche, turkey, penguin bills, and penguin feet were coated with a layer of embossing powder to add dimension and shine. There was a whole lotta masking involved to get that turkey on the table and to add that homey yellow background, which was sponged with Distress Ink.
The patterned paper is from the Origins collection by Basic Grey.
I shall enter this card in these challenges:
• Simon Says "Thanksgiving/Thanks" Challenge.
• iCopic Challenge #57: "Being Thankful and Thanksgiving".
Thanks for visiting today!
