Build a Turkey – Color Throwdown #63
Time for another Color Throwdown, y’all! This week we’re being sponsored by Unity Stamps!! Woo hoo! And our lovely hostess Cathy has chosen another set of colors that’s perfect for a fall card. Good thing, because I’m working with the Build a Turkey stamp set…and I took that literally, by the way!
Here are our colors for the week:
So when I received the Build a Turkey set, the first thing that came to mind was that the name of it sounded like a children’s game. So you know what? That’s what I created with it!
This is the front. Looks just like a card, huh? Well, do you see the small brown flap at the very bottom? It wraps around from the back, allowing the card to stand up on it’s own. The stitching is open in the very middle on the top of the brown layer. That’s where you can stick the feathers of your choice in behind the turkey (which is up on foam tape), forming his tail.
And here’s the back. The panel that wraps around to the front is taped along the sides and bottom but left open on top to store extra feathers. I even stamped some more feathers on some white cardstock for when the grandkids come to visit. I know they’ll want to color some feathers themselves to dress the turkey with!
So what do you think? Will the grandkids like it? I sure hope so!
