DTC Challenge #153 "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" and 152 "DeJa-BREW" Day 6

Join us at Double Trouble Challenge #152 and hop on by and enjoy the CRAFTEINATING inspiration by our Design Team and entrants. DTC is participating with 2023 Coffee Lover's Fall/Winter Blog Hop and here is another Coffee themed card for Day 6. 

This is another project for Double Trouble Challenge #153 "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" which includes at least 3 patterned papers, 2 embellishments and 1 Fall or Harvest Item.  Twisted Sister's optional twist is to consider using Try Stampin' On Tuesday Sketch #632 and add a sentiment.  

When I saw the colorful striped patterned paper in the CTMH Gnome Autumn paperpack it was perfect to stamp my turkey which wouldn't require coloring.  Using pumpkin cardstock cut a to-go-cup die, stamped sentiment, layered with thin black border and adhered in place of the stamped sign from original turkey stamp. For more dimension the feathers were cut from turkey and adhere with more foam tape on the tip of the feathers.  
    





I must have cut two or sometimes three of the same panel size in each of the patterns in the Gnome paperpack, added a thin layer for each with pumpkin cardstock. Tried so many combinations of my pre-cut/layered patterns but it wasn't until I revisited some of the Mix-in patterns and found a pattern paper in Honey Butter, using both sides, and it was my perfect combination for my striped turkey.  Masked a couple corn cobs, colored with Copic brush pens and added to the bottom corner of my turkey panel.  Adhered two yellow dots as the embellishments required in the "3-2-1 Recipe for a Happy Harvest". 

On the inside of the card added some patterned paper to the the right-hand side border.  

This photo also shows the piecing, cutting and dimension of the Turkey image.  


I'm laughing now because it probably took me longer contemplating what papers to use with a striped turkey and probably coloring it would have been much faster. However, I already have my papers cut and can set up another paper combination for a second card (See here).
