I adore Fall . . . can you tell by my posts lately?! The rich, rustic colors are just so appealing to me! When I was looking thru my fall stamp images, I found this older sweet Lockhart Scarecrow and stamped him onto Neenah Natural White cardstock and colored him with these Copic markers and Spica glitter pens:
I was able to get two Inchies out of the one stamped image but only got one made into a card, so I'm sure I'll be back with something to show you later in the week with the other Inchie!
After coloring, I glued the scarecrow to an Inchie Arts White Inchie Square that I colored a border with E13 Copic. Then I decided to use this week's CPS#84 sketch to put him on. My Mind's Eye Out & About Card Pack (Michael's) came to the rescue with this orange floral card base and another coordinating pattern (brown dotted) from the pack was used to make the faux envelope element of the sketch. I used Petite Scalloped Circle Nestabilities to cut the flap for my envelope -- the flap does actually lift up to reveal a magnet that holds the Inchie. The recipient will be able to remove the Inchie and use it as a magnet!
I machine stitched the brown dotted paper to the card base and accented it with EK Success orange adhesive gems and May Arts orange chenille dot ribbon.
Happy Fall!
Oh I love it! Your coloring is amazing and i love the env look.Great colors too!

That is a beautiful card. As a matter of fact, all of your cards are beautiful. I especially love this time of year. Here in Texas we don't get those beautiful fall colors so you just showed me how to make my own color. Thanks!
