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.

Welcome Little Girl

Our friends have a new little baby girl, I haven't seen any photos yet but baby girls are ever so sweet. So I am looking forward to seeing her. And what would be a better reason for making a card ..... using a sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

 

 The base for this card is Bazill Craftcard which I layered with various Echo Park patterned papers using some machine-stitching. The little baby elephant is from Pink Petticoat, the little sentiment a stamp from Woodware. As embellishments I added some charms and some paper flowers from Prima Marketing. Petra.
