Scarecrow

I fell in love with this stamp

as soon as I saw it.

I bought this little chap

last year  when Miss Di and I

were at the NEC

and he has been waiting patiently for his

first outing!

Decided to make a Gatefold card.

Stamp is by Circadesign 'ED-IM-03'

Coloured with my Promarkers.

Background given a light dusting

of green pearlescent  chalk.

cut out using Spellbinders 'Marvelous Squares' die.

I cut the cardstock to my own measrurements.

Just spuddled  (not sure that is a real word but it's

what The doc says I do all day)

 around  until I was happy with the sizes.

Design paper is  by Nancy Watt

a freebie in making cards mag 2012.

I found the autumn sayings  on the web.

Used my bitty leaf punch again but quickly stuck

the snippets onto the other card on the opposite page.

The front flap over has a tag in a pocket 

to write a message on the reverse before sending

I thought both of these sayings summed up

Autumn.

I love his pumpkin head.

I turned the bird into a Robin

and chose autumn colours.
