It's time for another challenge over at Createful Heart, #5 this time and, as usual, our theme is Anything Goes. I've used this darling Ms.Scarecrow with Squirrels, which you can find here. She was a dream to color!
I colored with a combination of ProMarkers and polychromos pencils, then cut the image with a die from Sue Wilson. The frame is actually an insert cut from a scrap bit of dp, using another die from that same Sue Wilson set. That got mounted onto another scrap from my stash of leftover scrap booking papers. Whenever I am looking for a larger piece, I go search the scrap booking scraps because they tend to be larger, having been larger papers to start.
I love the textured golden yellow ribbon and I paired it up a bow I tied using a darker gold ribbon. The pumpkins (die cuts - Impression Obsession) were added to balance off the side with the ribbon embellishment.

I think we will need to feed the squirrels this winter, as Hurricane Irma stripped all the oak trees of their tiny, barely growing, acorns! The intriguing use of that SW die is amazing! I love that you used the designer paper. In the smaller photo, it almost looks like stitching! Beautifully colored, my friend! hugs, de
Love the die cut showcasing this fabulous scarecrow! Wonderful colours too.

Such a cute card!! The embossed & die cut frame (I'm assuming you rubbed with color?)is a great accent!! I'm so glad Autumn projects aren't over with the passing of Halloween!!! Thanks for playing along with us at PIP Challenges :)
Beautiful coloring and a very pretty card Connie! Love that scarecrow. I'm thinking that even a scarecrow wouldn't scare the squirrels out of this yard. They're loving the pecans here.

Great card Connie and super colouring of that darling image as well. I do love mixing Pro markers with Polychromos pencils - so effective for shading especially!
