Paper Sweeties November Inspiration #13!

Hi there!

It's time again for another inspiration challenge over at Paper Sweeties!  Isn't that little girl just darling out for a stroll amongst all the leaves?  She has a beautiful colorful skirt and there are many colors to choose from for your inspiration this month!  So, please join in on the fun and enter the challenge.  You just might be chosen to receive a $20 gift certificate and an invite to be the guest designer for the following month!

Here is my card for inspiration...



I started with a tan card base and layered with Simple Stories(Smarty Pants) papers showing the apples at the edges.  I placed some burlap and twine.  I sponged distress ink on the sun and the background.  The Paper Sweeties stamps that I used are Stand Add-On 2 (pumpkins, apple), Stand Add-On 3 (scare crow, large pumpkin), and Sweeties Wagon (sentiment).  I paper pieced the scare crow and colored him with copics.  I drew in little crows in the background. And, I placed an apple on the left arm of the scare crow.  I hope you are inspired by my fall scene here and join in on the challenge this month!  Thanks for taking a peek today!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend, hugs!

  2. Maria, this is adorable. I love that scarecrow and the sponging makes it look like a grand, Fall morning with a rising sun. I like that you put the apple on scarecrow's arm. Nice use of the burlap and twine.
