Thanksgiving cards

I made several different styles, some simple and others more complicated or time consuming.

I made these 2 first. They are patterned after a quilting square. Same concept but with paper and glue rather than fabric and thread.

These took a little more time but were easy to make. The leaves are cut from felt and then stitched to the paper and then mounted to make the card.

Turkeys!!! What would Thanksgiving be without a few turkey cards? The turkey feathers and body was cut out 3 times and then layered with different parts cut off for the various colors to stand out.

I have made similar ones in the past but I think the individual leaves turn out good.

I made this design for one of the calendar pages this year. I like the way the leaves are layered...all hand cut pieces.

These are some that I drew and then colored in using pencils and gel pens.

This one turned out better than I thought it might. I used a stencil and strategically placed it on the 4 rectangles to draw the leaves. Then I colored them in with gel pens. The mini buttons were the final touch.

Another one I used as a calendar page. I really love this style! Again hand cut pieces with some attached with foam tape for depth.
