Alright...you guys that know me well, know that I'm not huge into punch art. But...after I created this owl card, I showed it to the gals at Stamp Club. It happened to be the same night that we made these same purse dies into bats. Well, you get a group of gals together that are brilliantly creative, and this little Turkey was thought up. I just finally got a chance to put the thoughts into action. (I hope I did it well Denison Gals!)
This actually went together darn quick. The most time consuming was the corny feathers. I inked them up with More Mustard and then went right over the top with markers - Always Artichoke, Not Quite Navy, and Cajun Craze. Because I didn't wipe the corn cob clean of More Mustard first, it seems to have made the colors more uniform. Punched a couple of circles for the eyes, used the leaf branch from the bird punch for the waddle and the tip of one of the blossoms for the beak.
And, while I don't love punch art usually, I must say....this guy is stinkin' cute!
I covered up all of the layered corn cobs with a big leaf on the back - was just trying to clean that up a bit.
What do you think? Good little place holders at your Thanksgiving table? I'd love to hear your thoughts - just leave me a comment!
