Happy Thanksgiving

I did not have too much time for crafting lately because of Mr Penguin but I wanted to make a little something for Thanksgiving day ... I remembered that I still had some painted leaves from my previous journal project. They were just too nice to be thrown away. After covering one with Diamond Glaze I looked at it intently and thought that the leave would make a really lovely plumage for a Turkey (lol)

 

Mr Turkey himself is a digital image from LoriBoyd Design. I cut out the image and coloured it with colouring pencils and covered it with Glossy Accounts. Using the wonderful sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 

 

I layered American Crafts paper on a square white card, did some machine stitching around the edges and added some white squares and a Waltzing Mouse sentiment.

Wishing you all a lovely and wonderful Thanksgiving day and evening from wet and stormswept England, Petra.

Time for Tea with the Queen

in the garden with this lovely Lady from Pollycraft: Cherry Kisses Tea in the 20's ... and just in case you wonder about the strange shadows in the photo ... they were taken in the garden during some wonderful sunny moments!

Supplies:

image: Pollycraft (Cherry Kisses from the 1920s) - stamps: Artistic Outpost

paper: ivory card, Papermania - colouring: Copics

Mulberry flowers, handbag charm, pearl, Nestabilities, ribbon

some stitching

The inspiration for this card came from Jane who makes the most fabulous cards with Pollycraft images and others, thank you Jane! I covered some square ivory cardstock with Papermania paper and added some nestabilities stamp and square shapes, the sentiment is stamped on Papermania paper and machine stitching around the edge. The Lady is coloured with Copics, has a wonderful stylish handbag and is put on foam pads so that she has a bit of a raised position to have a better view of the Queen during the Afternoon tea (lol). Mulberry flowers and a little pearl complement the the tea time in the garden!

Hope you can join us for the Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge: Time for the Queen's Tea, Petra.
