High Hopes Scarecrow

Happy Sunday!!! I am especially happy because I have the whole day to myself...to do what ever I want. And, you know what I want to do...create...stamp...color!!! I have a lot of new tools that I have gotten over the past two weeks and I very much want to pull them out and get to work! Just so you know...I am gonna have a very fun day today!

Although I have been working 6 days a week lately, it has taken a toll on my house keeping...so I know I will have to get some of that done, but with a whole day to myself...heck, I can do it!

I bought this stamp from High Hopes last year and never got around to coloring him. I just adore this scarecrow as he just says Thanksgiving and Fall. I stamped him with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with my Copics. I used some rust cardstock that I bought from Flourishes a while back. I found the DP from Hobby Lobby and thought it perfect for this fall card. The Spellbinders Die was used and I just cut a rectangle for the image. I sponged all around this little guy with SU's So Saffron. My first ever sponging...I have to admit Beate at Fresh and Fun has been my inspiration for sponging...and now I am hooked. I have more sponging to show in the future...I am so excited she inspired me to move on to another technique. Back to the card...I found this beautiful ribbon at Hobby Lobby and used a Pumpkin Patch Button Sign to put by his feet...and an autum sparkly leaf that was also a button. I just clipped off the back of both buttons and glued them where I wanted them.

I really like how this turned out and hope you do to. Wishing you all the very best week coming up and Stay Healthy. Thank you for looking!!
