Last year I made a small rosette turkey for a greeting card and admired it all year long. I couldn’t wait to get started this year for the next installment of . . . Rosette Turkey! I used the same cut and sentiment from Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge. I inserted an ultrafine sharpie into my Cricut Expression 2 and had it draw the sentiment and turkey legs onto some watercolor paper. My Cricut also drew the turkey body which was then cut. I then colored the background and turkey body, legs, etc., using a combination of Tim Holtz Distress Ink markers, pads, and Stampin’ Up watercolor pencils. Then I sewed the clouds (digital patterned paper from Lori Whitlock’s Fall Fling Collection) onto the background. Twine was tied into a bow and adhered to the top of a piece of 12-x-12-inch chipboard. The watercolor paper piece (background with sentiment) was trimmed and adhered to the white side of the chipboard, so that it resembled a Polaroid. The rosette (digital patterned paper also from Lori Whitlock’s Fall Fling Collection) was from Close To My Heart’s Artiste cartridge. This was assembled and hot glued onto the background. I hot glued the turkey body where shown, added a black cardstock bow tie with button (also from CTMH Artiste cartridge), and applied glossy accents to the turkey’s wattle (because every wattle needs dimension!). Black pearls were added to the Turkey’s eyes. Then . . . I hung it on my front door!
