Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge #83~~Make it Masculine

This week for Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge, Linda challenged us to make a masculine card.  I love this pheasant from the Autumn Glory stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company.  I think I'm going to make 8-10 more of these to use for my Dec birthdays.  This is also one of my favorite background papers from MFP called Aged Marigold.  I love the mottled look of it.  You can't really tell it too much in the photo, but IRL it is beautiful!

Stamps:  Autumn Glory
Ink:  early espresso
Papers:  Aged Marigold, Corn Husk
Misc:  Copics, ribbon, charm

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We'll be eating the leftover Turkucken til Christmas!! LOL  In case you don't know what a Turducken is, it's a chicken stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey.  It is all boneless except for the turkey wings and legs.  It is stuffed with cajun sausage and cornbread stuffing.  Yummy!!!!!

Please join us for Speedy's challenge this week.  You may even be the lucky winner of "Snow and Ice" which is a soon to be released stamp set for December. 

Happy Stamping!
