Eat Turkey! Plus More NBUS Stuff

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I started a week ago, but migraines and other health issues didn't allow me to complete it until today.  This card was inspired by this flag from the site Flags On A Stick.

Once I saw the flag, I immediately knew what stamp set I wanted to use.  So I dug through my stash and pulled out the retired Eat Turkey set from the now closed Totally Stampalicious that I've never used (NBUS).   After stamping the main image in memento black, I pulled out the Eat Turkey saying and stamped it in the middle of the pigs sign.  I then colored everything using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks over and around the top half of the image panel.  For the dirt, I stippled Adirondack caramel dye ink then layered and added some not quite navy brads.  My card was stamped using Stampin Up's retired Chicken Wire background in Tim Holtz faded jeans ink before sanding the card a tad to distress.  I then pulled out a cocoa scrap, dry embossed it using my Cuttlebug Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder and then also sanding it to distress.  Once my card was finished, I added the layered image panel using pop up glue dots.  I then added some fibers from my stash.  As an afterthought, I distressed the bottom panel of the layered image using my fingernail.
