Scotty

front of card (closed)

The theme for this week's challenge from Pattie's Creations is all about Harvest Time and/or  Thanksgiving.  The sponsor for this challenge is Dude Time Doodles and I've chosen Scotty Scarecrow to work with.

I tried something different for the background.  After printing put the image and cutting it out with Spellbinders Grand Labels Twenty Three (#1, 2, 3 - assumes #1 is the smallest), I lightly went over the entire thing with my water brush and Distress Inks (Ripe Persimmon and Scattered Straw), including the image itself.  Next, I used Copic markers and colored the image as I usually would.  The colors from the Distress Inks came through the alcohol inks in exactly the way I was hoping.  (I think in the back of my mind I was thinking of old feed sacks that people then used for quilts, etc.  Although this is WAY before my time, I inherited some old quilts that have feed sack material in them.)


I used bits of straw for his hair and created an easel card.  The sentiment is the negative portion of the Giving Thanks die from Die-Versions.

Now it's your turn to show us your Harvest/Thanksgiving projects.  Remember, there needs to be an image on the project (either stamped or digital) and you have two weeks to upload your creation to the Pattie's Creations Design Challenge blog.  Be sure to visit the other design team members to see what they've created for you as well.
