Since I was doing an elaborate paper-piecing job on the ole' bird and that made him a little chubby for the card, I chose to hang him over the edge. I cut the front panel in half, matted some great leaf/turkey paper called "Where's the Turkey" by Karen Foster, then added my glorious turkey. The belly is a paper piece that is inserted under a slit by his curved neck feathers. Each of the feathers were drawn using a duplicate image pattern out of scraps and then glued on top of the finished image. The three stripes to the right side of the sketch are actually on the inside, again using Fall patterned paper.
Hope you will come and join us in our 2 week challenge!
Carolyn, absolutely amazing! Love how you used the different patterned papers to paper piece the turkey. STUNNING!
