Short a Turkey

So when I got ready to mail off my Thanksgiving cards on Saturday, I realized I was three turkeys short! Oh no! So I quickly headed to the craft room and got creating!

This card was kind of inspired by several of the cards I've made in the past few weeks. The combination produced a card that is fun to make and super quick!

I ran a piece of white cardstock through an embossing folder, die cut the leaf and stamped a sentiment.

The white leaf--kind of a shadow thing going on there--was die cut from the card I'll post tomorrow.


Supplies:
Paper: Recollections (white card blank); Neenah (Solar White cardstock); snippet (pretty sure it was some Cosmo Cricket paper)
Stamp: Stampabilities (Happy T'day)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Rusty Hinge)
ETC: Cuttlebug (Forest Branches embossing folder; Leaves die cut); Glue Glider Pro



So did you get all your Thanksgiving cards mailed out?? Now I've got to get back to making Christmas cards! =D
