THANKFUL TOM THE TURKEY PUNCH ART CARD...

Long day... can't wait to sit down to eat dinner and watch a movie with hubby!  Tonight was my Technique Thursday class.  This week we did the Dahlia Fold Technique.  After practicing the technique on the flower for the technique card, we used a modified Dahlia Fold to make our Thankful Tom Thanksgiving Card.

I loosely followed this Mojo Monday sketch for this card although I adapted it to a 5.25" Square Card to fit in our Technique Book.  And I try not to do too many layers and embellishments for this class (although I may add some more bling/ribbon to my card later!).

OK, I stopped here and added a ribbon.  Which do you think?  With or without?  What about more embellishment?
