Relaxing Scarecrow
>> Saturday, September 5, 2020
Welcome!
Have you ever scared yourself with a card design idea? That's my card today as I designed it in my head :)
I will also admit that I really didn't think I could pull it off, but in the end I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and easily it all came together.
I think it was just the sheer number of stamps I was dragging out of my collection that made me nervous, but once I decided to stamp the background as a scene and fussy cut and attach the cabin, stonewall, scarecrow and leaf pile it all went quickly.
To start I cut out my "path" out of scrap so I could sponge on yellow and brown. I covered the path with the piece I cut out and sponged on the grass and sky and stamped just the fence from our New Fence & Rocks 2 in 1 Scene using black ink.
On a separate piece of card stock I stamped (using black ink)
Laid Out Scarecrow (New Image!!)
I colored all using a combination of watercolor pencils and alcohol markers and fussy cut them and then attached them using some double sided tape. I finished it off by stamping our Happy Fall Y'all in the sky and then layered all on black and then a folded yellow card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh my gosh, Sue, this is sooo cute! Love that scarecrow, your fun use of the new fence, and your fun colored leaves. You used a bunch of fun stamps and it looks totally fun! Hugz
I love your redwood cabin and the scarecrow on the rock fence is so adorable!! Such a cute card! Great work combining stamps on this too! Sensational!
So happy & colorful, Sue! That little cabin is really getting a work out lately, lol. Can't believe you cut all this out! Love all the bright fall colors & that scarecrow sure looks happy perched on the wall.
p.s. be sure to check out my post on the 18th...lots of pics of how I did a complicated card & didn't cut out one single image.
I Love the little road leading to the cabin! Fantastic card and I love the fall colors!
