Pinky the ScareCrow

Ok, so after working on this card for a few hours, I just could not come up with a "cool" name....lol.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.  I am LOVING the cool weather in So. Cal! How about you guys??

So, for this image I used Copics.  I'm still trying to learn and practice as you can see. This one was a bit challenging because of all the small details it had.  It definitely took me a while to finish her, but I think she came out ok.  I was also a little limited as to my colors only because I REALLY wanted to use her in the Incy Wincy challenge which called for Pink and Brown.

I enjoyed putting this card together.  I used all sorts of stuff for this one.....embossing with my Sizzix, Cricut expression, digi stamp, distressing, and of course just embellishments.  It was fun to change it up and just see what happens.

So this is what happened....

This is such a cute Digi Stamp from Karen's Doodles. I just love her.  The card stock I've had for a while, so not sure what brand it is.  I used my Sizzix Twizzle to emboss the brown paper under the image. My bling is from Craft Designer.

I used Gypsy Wanderings for the sentiments.  I had totally forgotten that this cart came with my gypsy and had never used it before.  Very happy when I found these.  The pumpkins I cut out using Create A Critter. That cart has the cutest cutouts.

I used my Designer's Calender cart to cut out the leaves.  The ribbon is from Joanns.
