I'm combing 3 challenges for my card today...today's Sketch, yesterday's color, & Monday's Technique. I used all of the colors for my Thanksgiving card & did a little bandana tech on the olive green strips. For the sketch, I let the legs of the scarecrow serve as the 2nd horizontal band of the sketch, but all other elements are there.
The scarecrow was colored w/ Copics, fussy cut & added to a stitched oval that I stamped the arced greeting across the top. The scroll image was stamped on the die cut olive strips & I used the white gel pen for the bandana tech. The ombre yellow strip started out a honey color & I sponged the Distress inks on it going to red at the bottom. The sponged & fussy cut leaves & punched branches were added around the oval.
Thanks so much for looking. I'll have it on my blog as soon as I fix a little problem w/ it. Don't you love software updates that totally mess up what wasn't broken? The Write Stuff

Your colors are so bright and vivid. Love how the leaves and needles surround your sweet scarecrow.
