PP609 Autumn Fun

Hi stampers!  It's Sunday and that means a new Paper Players challenge!  Claire is our hostess this week for our monthly Clean and Simple challenge: 

Fun stuff!  I admit that my card is not as clean and simple as I usually create, but I had a lot of fun playing with some older papers and stamps! Check it out:

I got this scary-looking scarecrow stamp a few years ago and I thought he would work well with the CAS Colours & Sketches sketch challenge, although my tag is a wee bit bigger than the sample:

I began by stamping my scary guy on some white cardstock in Stazon black ink and before using the tag die to cut him out, I cut out the crow so it would extend beyond the tag.  After that, I stamped the whole tag with a Linen background stamp and used a blending brush on it to give it an aged look!  I colored him in with some reinkers and a watercolor brush and mounted him on a Very Vanilla card base:

The printed paper is some really old Basic Grey Max & Whiskers paper and the little sentiment stickers are from Tim Holtz.  I fussy-cut a little flower from the same paper to use as an embellishment!  I am pretty sure the look on this scarecrow's face would definitely scare somebody!!  

Now, I hope you'll play along with our Clean and Simple challenge....it's perfect for all your fall stamping!  Share your creation with us at the Paper Players blog and be sure to check out what the other designers created as well!  See you there!  Thanks so much for popping in today!

Cassidy "helped" Grampy wash his truck recently!  Mostly she just sprayed him!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
