JiFFy Challenge!

Hello!!!  I'm SO glad to be joining the JiFFy (Just For Fun) challenge this month.  If you've not seen the usual crew's projects each month, I'll fill you in.  These lovely ladies (and I mean SUPER talented ladies) get together and make a project using the same basic supplies.  No one knows what the combination of paper and stamps are going to be until it arrives in each other's mailbox.  It's always a ton of fun to see what everyone creates!
Ms. Carole sent the paper this month - Noodle Soup by Jillibean Soup.  Crossing paths in the mail from Ms. Julie were the darling images from the So Thankful stamp set by Hero Arts.

So, here's my creation...

Thankful

Aren't these pilgrims just darling?  I colored each carefully with Copics.  Liquid pearls replaced the little boy's buttons on his shirt.  I also colored the turkey, adding a bit of sparkle to the tail feathers, and carefully trimmed with precision scissors.  While I love to stitch on paper, I decided to add faux-stitching instead.  I'd say it's because I wanted to do it that way... but to be honest, I was afraid I'd mess up the patterned paper...   There's confidence for you!  Hah!


(Sorry for the quality of this picture... I just couldn't get the balance right in editing...) My little turkey is popped up on the front panel with dimensional tape.  He's too cute to be dinner, isn't he?

And while I don't always finish the inside of my cards, I really wanted to do something to make this card special.  I added a few bits of the patterned paper and my sentiment, off-center, to complete the card.
I'd love it if you'd visit all my friends to see what crafty goodness they've created:

  1. Eeek! This turned out SO cute! Your coloring is perfect! And... I know what you mean about the stitching. I messed mine up & had to cover it with a little ribbon tag. ;) Your faux stitching looks completely real though!

  8. So fabulous, Lise, and it's been wonderful having you on board this month! Just like old times. :) Your card is spectacular -- great coloring, as always, and love your inside decoration. When I see cards decorated on the inside, I usually think, "I can't go there..." but yours inspires me. :)
