Fall Greetings by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

Continuing on with the current "Hey Pumpkin" challenge, I have another Fall card to show you today. I am really loving the new Country Barn images that were recently released by Art Impressions. I think they are so gorgeous! For my card today, I used #6261 Hen House. I started by stamping the image onto a Copic friendly cardstock and coloring it. The colors I used are listed toward the bottom of the post. I really tried to give a feather affect to the chickens, but not sure I succeeded. LOL! I made small flicks of different colored markers on their bodies and then attempted to enhance them using some colored pencils. After coloring, I grabbed a wheat stamp from #5598 Harvest Set. I used some tape to mask off the bushel basket and stamped it multiple times. It didn't stand out enough for me, so I grabbed an old Marvy marker and used the fine point to enhance each piece and make it look a little better. I also took my craft knife and cut a slit in the top of the milk can. Into that slit, I slid a sunflower from #5594 Harvest Scarecrow Set that I stamped, colored, then fussy cut. 

I cut the colored image out using #5725 Nested Square Dies. Then I sandwiched a smaller square from the same set and the largest die from #6047 Scalloped Square Dies to create the frame out of a sheet of paper from #6273 Country Barn PP.  I stamped a sentiment from #5600 Harvest Sentiment Set across the top center of the frame before adhering it to the colored image. I adhered it using Scotch 3M mounting tape to the card base because I do like dimension. LOL! To finish it off, I added a countrified bow along with some of the pieces from #6274 Country Barn Accessory Set. 

That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!
