Betsy’s Pick of the Patch fall scarecrow card

Hello everyone and happy fall!  Today I’m sharing a cute autumn card that I made using the Pick of the Patch digital stamp set and the Autumn Journalers as background papers. Using the background papers enabled me to make this card easily.  Let me show you how I did it!

I first composed my card by placing my colorable elements the way I wanted them.  Then I placed the background paper, making it big enough to crop off the wording down the right side and yet have it big enough for my card.

I trimmed out the design to an A2 size card base making sure I cut it so I could use a contrasting panel for the card from.  Then I rounded the corners on the right top and bottom.

I started my coloring.  I kept it pretty simple and using fall colors keeping the leaves along the side in mind and making sure I was matching those.

I decided to use a die cut for my sentiment.  I took a scrap of warm ivory card stock and ink blended it with Distress Oxide inks.

When the ink was dry, I die cut my sentiment using a die from my stash.

I decided my sentiment looked best at a jaunty angle!  I adhered my panel onto a die cut piece of coordinating card stock and used Ranger Enamel Accents in orange around the design.

This card was fun and easy to make!  Because the background of the elements are transparent and the fill is white, they lay beautifully onto digital papers like this!  If you give this card a try, tag us on social media – we love to see what you’re creating!

Til next time…
