It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. We have another fun sketch for you to try this week!

MORE THAN AUTUMN

I’ve been wanting to get this idea out of my head ever since I created the little peppermint snowman latte card earlier!  Here’s a fall apple cider scarecrow card!  Isn’t it fun?

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Copper Clay cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Petal Pink was embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive).
• A 2 x 5-1/4 piece of Sweet Days of Autumn (Online Exclusive) Designer Paper was added along the bottom, with a coordinating 1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Paper to cover the seam.
• The largest Stylish Shapes Circle was cut from Basic Beige cardstock and stamped with the Hello Fall greeting in Early Espresso Ink.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The cider cup, apple and whipped cream “hat” were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Copper Clay, Boho Blue, Real Red and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the More Than Autumn Dies.
• The face is the second from smallest Stylish Shapes circle cut from Crumb Cake cardstock with Basic Black 1/8″ circle eyes and a hand-cut triangle nose from Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  The crosses were made with the Basic Black Marker.
• The straw “hair” is Daffodil Delight fringed with scissors and added to the top of the head.
• A hat band was hand-cut from Copper Clay cardstock and added to the hat.
• The “sunflower” is a snowflake cut from Daffodil Delight cardstock with the Snowy Wonder Dies and a 1/8″ Basic Black circle added inside.
• The leaves were cut with the Die from Copper Clay, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive cardstock and tucked around the cup.
• A trio of copper Faux Glass Dots were added to the circle background.
• Tiny dots of White Gel Pen for the eyes.

 

I think this is SOOO cute!!!  I love how he turned out!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
