Whimsical Wednesday "Add Texture"

Hello Whimsical Crafters. I hope everyone is having a great week. I can't believe how fast these months are passing us by. I can't believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving already! This week we have a fun, and easy challenge for you, you can create any themed card/project that you would like, but you must add texture. Super fun! Here is what I came up with.
I used Create A Critter for my cute little Turkey. I embossed part of the body with the Swiss Dots Folder, used Peaky Keen Critter Faces small, and stuck a little feather in his hat. My texture is the embossing on the turkey and the layer is he on (Houndsooth Cuttle Bug Folder). The flower is a Stampin' Up punch, the sentiment is from the dollar bin, and all the papers are from Best Creations-Hello Fall Collection.

Here is what the fabulous design team came up with. I am going to start of with Whimsical Wednesdays brand new designers Wendy from Gilby's Craftster and Sabrina from Scrappin' with Sabrina, . and Margie from Bella Bug Creations. I am so excited to have them aboard..they are going to make a great addition to the team. Help me in welcoming Wendy, Sabrina, and Margie this week, and be sure to go over their blogs and say hi.

Hi Stephanie,GORGEOUS job with your SWEET card my friend!I LOVE your turkey,great embossing and the pretty flower,Just FANTASTIC!and I am soooo super excited for next week!!!Happy Thanksgiving!:)

Margie said...

Stephanie, that is one good looking turkey! I really like how all the individual cuts come together so nicely. Love the feather in his cap, which, by the way, looks like great texture to me! I think the houndstooth embossing folder was the perfect choice for this card. You always have so many little details on your cards.
Love the plethora of color on the DT cards! They rock, just like they do every week!

Sabrina said...

Your card is adorable! I love that CAC turkey, he is just so cute. Great job on all the embossing too, that always adds great texture. The feather in his hat is a great touch!
