Ms Scarecrow with Squirrels

The delightful fall image for our September Progressive Freebie over at The Outlawz comes from Mary of CreatefulHeartsCards , Ms. Scarecrow with Squirrels. 

I printed the image out on Neenah Desert Storm 100 lb. cardstock and colored using Polychromos colored pencils. I added some white gel pen for the buttons and dots, then cut out with the Die-namics Wonky Stitched Rectangles. The card base is also the Neenah cardstock. The white layered piece was wrapped with a loose weave burlap and a rough string was tied. Finally, I added a burlap butterfly that I had in my stash.

Loving this image, and curious about what Copics would do on this paper, I did a second one.

The background is done with Distress Oxides. Which do you prefer?

Fall Greetings From the General Store

We are so lucky to have an image from Createful Hearts Digis for October over at The Outlawz Freebie Progressive Challenge.This image is called General Store and has such a nice inviting fall look to it.

I used Distress markers over an embossed folder from Darice, added a strip of yellow felt to the left side topped with a leaf from a Cuttlebug die cut (covered with Distress Inks and several Nuvo Drops in clear), and popped up the image. I added some clear gel pen over the windows and some Wink of Stella over the pumpkins. The fall greetings was created using my Minc and gold foil.
