Good Morning Sistahs!
Someone call the Fire Department because I'm on Fire! LOL Okay, so maybe I'm not on fire, but for
Kitchen Sink's Monthly Contest they asked us to "Turn Up The Heat!" So what's a girl to do? TURN UP THE HEAT! And turn it up I did!!
I had this vision when I ordered my free
3-Step Turkey Trot set last month. I knew I wanted to create a card using the Grass from the
3-Step Honey Bunny set, but instead of grass I wanted to create fire. (Click
here if you want to see what the grass actually looks like when it's used as grass.) I took me a while to find a good combination of colors, but I think I managed.
I also wanted the turkey to look like he was shocked when he realized why they were asking about stuffing, so I added googly eyes. In addition, I used a piece of a Making Memories metal sheet to create a roasting pan for the turkey to sit in. The *fire* was stamped on twice. I stamped it onto a 5 1/4" strip first, then carefully trimmed around the edges so it would create more dimension. The second time I stamped it, it was on the main image sheet so it looked like he was engulfed in flames. I kinda feel sorry for poor Mr. Turkey. That was definitely harder than I thought it was going to be, but I like the way it turned out. I'm entering this one into the "Thinking Outside the Box" category, what do you think?
Oh, and I have some fun and wonderful news to share with you all, but I'm probably going to save it until Monday.
