Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #124

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful day and lot of yummy goodies to munch on.  We watched the Macy's parade while Dwight got the turkey ready...it was the best ever!


Now my mess is cleaned up, company gone home, used the turkey carcass to make broth for a pot of soup and made time to sit down and make a card for this week's Waltzingmouse sketch challenge.  This week's sketch is by Karin Akesdotter and I was really stumped for awhile...needed to spend some time thinking about what to do.  I also wanted to use some stamps that I have not had the chance to ink yet.  I pulled out Festive Foliage, so happy that it was back in stock and I was able to order it.  I played around a bit and then came up with this...thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

  15. This card is beautiful! I love how you created a border around the card with sprigs of pine boughs. The dark green mat really makes the centre image pop!

    Now, about that turkey...this looks like a Marth Stewart cooking lesson type of roasted bird! Absolutely perfectly browned! My mouth watered just looking at the picture :)
