Gobble Gobble

I created this card for a shoebox swap with the theme "fun holiday kids' cards".  I always enjoy finding unusual ways to use images, so I thought it would be fun to make a turkey using Christmas shapes.

Instructions:

Using your favorite adhesive assemble the turkey

in the following manner

Place head on top of the body

Place Waddle so that the point covers the point on the body.

Place the beak above the waddle

Use Paper Snips to cut two legs from the snowflake and adhere to the body

Brayer one side of the Chevron folder with Soft Suede ink, place feathers inside

 and run through Big Shot to emboss the feathers

To finish, fold an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Cajun Craze card stock in half to make an A2 card.

Adhere a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of More Mustard card stock to card

Place Champagne Glimmer brads on head to create eyelids

Place googlies on top of brads to create eyes

Adhere feathers to body

Adhere finished Turkey to the card using adhesive or Stampin' Dimensionals

I also thought that the Turkey by itself (or on an easel card) would make a fun place card for Thanksgiving Dinner
