The challenge is to use our computer for things such as sentiments. The caption is computer generated.
Now as for that sentiment, I got a little help from the hubby on that one. I came up with ‘Skinny…it’s the only way to live’ but wasn’t thrilled with it because of the space it would take up so he thought this would work better and he is right...he likes to think he's always right!
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.
-The leaves are punched out and scored with a metal ball stylus and colored with the pencils. AleeneÂ’s tacky glue was used to attach them to the card.
-The edges of the designer paper and dark tan layers were ink distressed.
This is just a card front which will be used at the trade shows for the company so thatÂ’s the reason for no envelope or insert for this card.
Accessories: ANW Crestwood – brads, Aleene’s tacky glue, Prismacolor pencils, baby oil Tools – Nestabilities, computer, cutting scissors, Martha Stewart maple leaf punch, paper stumps, Stampin Up mat pack and Bazzill piercer for brads, sponge, metal ball stylus

The expression on your skinny turkey's face makes me smile! Very cute image and sentiment (but so was yours!). Also really like how you've matched the beautiful leaves to the dp, this is a fun and lovely card.

What a great turkey day card! I love it!! I love all of the details on your card as well (the dry embossing on the main panel, the leaves, the layout, the ribbon, etc!)!!!
