It is a Happy Harvest indeed on our farm today! We started harvesting pinto beans yesterday, and soon we will be onto corn. This is my most favorite time of the year in Nebraska when the temps cool down and the combines are rolling in the field! It is rewarding to see all the hard summer work coming to an end and grain in the bins!
With harvest in the air, I decided to use this sweet little scarecrow on my card today. It is from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. And, what makes this stamp set even greater, is it has a coordinating punch to cut out the cute images of the scarecrow, mummy, skeleton, and dracula! I decided to use watercoloring on the scarecrow to give him that not so perfect coloring look. I like how he turned out! Watercoloring is a fun technique! All you need is an ink pad and a watercolor brush and you’re ready to ‘paint’!
Details: I used my paper snips and roughed up around the edges of the designer series paper. I then inked up a stamping sponge in soft suede and sponged around the edge of the designer series paper, watercolor paper and the sentiment. This gave it more dimension, and also that roughed up look I was going for.
