I couldn't let today pass without wishing all of you a very happy Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for all of you who stop by Inking Aloud! The past 9 months or so have been pretty challenging for me, with lots of unexpected change followed by a new beginning and I'll admit that I've been struggling a bit. I'm thankful that I have cardmaking and crafting as a little retreat to clear my head when I need a break!
I put together this simple Thanksgiving card inspired by
the current sketch at The Paper Players. The turkey's from
Lawn Fawn's Turkey Day set. I colored him with Copic markers and used
dimensional dots to attach him to a round panel. The image was adhered to a fun
triangle patterned paper panel on a kraft card base. The vibrant colors aren't exactly traditional for fall, but they work nicely with the turkey image. I added some texture to the panel with a piece of
orange faux suede ribbon tied with some
brown twine. The "happy turkey day" sentiment was stamped at the bottom of the panel in
black ink.
If you're celebrating today, I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends!

from i {heart} papers: Lawn Fawn Turkey Day stamp set; Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Doodlebug Design Happy Camper 6x6 paper pad; May Arts orange faux suede ribbon; Hemptique Bronze twine; Sticky Thumb dimensional dots
