Dude Time Doodles Challenge 25 - Theme

It's time for another Dude Time Doodles challenge and this one has a bit of a twist as we want you to pick the occasion! It can either be:

World Hello Day (21 November)
Thanksgiving (24 November)
or
Stay at Home Because You Are Well Day (hmmm - tempted!!)

I've gone for Thanksgiving but sort of made it a bit Christmassy as Thanksgiving is not on my radar here in the UK.

I've followed the current Fetch A Sketch sketch (thank you Jenny!) and used papers from a wonderful digi collection from Alison Sloan which I'm not sure is still available but I was lucky when it was first released to have a little play with it - the papers are wonderful and just right for modern vintage! Oh, and have a look at some of Alison's digi kits - primarily for scrapbooking but work just as well for papercrafting - you can find them here - and prices start at $2 - bargain!!

Anyway, I've used my Nesties for the shaping, lots of ink, some fine black dots with a thin marker plus some linen twill ribbon from my stash and the image that I find myself using a LOT is Turkey Lurkey and its been coloured with Promarkers.

So, fancy entering the challenge? Pop over to the challenge blog for more details on how to enter and to see the rest of the Design Team's creations! Good luck!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Really Reasonable Ribbon: Christmas

Glazed Turkey

I know it is July but you really do need to be thinking ahead to Christmas! The Card Patterns sketch challenge just screamed Christmas and turkey to me when I saw it! Dude Time Doodles are sponsoring this week's challenge and I've used the Turkey Lurkey image, coloured with Promarkers.

For the winner of a challenge, a $10 gift certificate will be awarded from Dude Time Doodles - so you have to enter!

I've used one of my Nesties as a template to draw around as I wanted the image more oblong than square.

The brads are from my stash and the snowflake embellishment was a lot plainer before I got my glitter glue out - its from a set of parcel stickers from Marks and Spencers (makes a change from the Poundshop!) and I've had them a few years - bought in the January sales of course!

The papers are all from a wonderful download from Alison Sloan called Sweet Cookie Christmas and I've created pleats with the papers to give it a tablecloth kinda feel!


I'd like to enter the following challenges with my card:

Cardmadfairy's Digi Day's Challenge: Digi and an animal (well, it used to be!)
Crafty Catz: Vintage

Turkey Wishes

A quick card from me that actually took nearly 2 weeks to put together. Don't know why - probably everything else just got in the way! It's for the Cards For Men challenge which this fortnight is:

Animals

Ok, I'm pushing the theme a little here, but the turkey is an animal. Just a cooked one! I've used Turkey Lurkey from BoniBleaux Designs, coloured him with Promarkers and layered it onto some random offcuts of card I found in my stash.


The sentiment is part of a freebie set that I downloaded from GTC's Crafty Corner (I'd been after some of these tickets for ages so thank you!) The papers are Papermania 6x6 Home for Christmas stack that I must have bought but forgot about (oops!) as I found them in my stash!

And the string of mini lights? I've had these for absolutely ages and bought them years go and hardly ever used them! Just that the card needed something a bit butch to add to it, and although fairy lights are not that butch, I think they work well!
