Friends with Flair - give thanks

Unity Stamp Company has Friends with Flair every Friday.  I have entered a few times when I can and the husband and kids don't have me running all day. If you look through my blog you will see Unity Stamps are some of my favorite stamps to use. I wanted to make a Thanksgiving card with the new stamp set Country Pumpkin Chowder, (the stamp name can make you giggle).  I will also be entering the Ribbon Carousel Fall Spirit Challenge, since I used their ribbons for this card.



I stamped each tree in different colors, for the fall. With the turkey I stamped him on kraft paper then cut off his tail. OH THE HUMANITY!!  But I wanted to used the pretty fall color ribbon I received from Ribbon Carousel monthly ribbon club kit.  Off with the tail and on with a ribbon tail. I used the netted ribbon on the bottom of the card, this ribbon gives a neat effect.  Easy card to do and fun.  The  card stock was all scraps from past projects, WHOOHOO !


The inside of the card I decided to let the turkey peek through some more ribbon. ( I wish the ribbon laid down smoother).




thanks for looking and reading :o)

Love the trees and that cute little turkey with his tail chopped off ! But I'm sure he's happier with such a cute ribbon tail ;)
