I couldn't wait to color up the new Whimsie Doodles FREEBIE, Scarecrow. You can find him in the What's New Section at the Whimsie Doodles Store, but hurry! He's only free for a limited time! He would also be perfect to use for an entry into the Whimsie Doodles October Challenge - It's Fall Y'all!

       

Orange, green and brown is my go-to color combo for Fall cards lately. I just love the way they look togther! I've colored Scarecrow with Copics, paper pierced a border around the panel, and stamped a sentiment from Your Next Stamp's Howdy Farmer set.

     

    

Copics:

Head - E31, E30, E50

Cheeks - R20, R30, R000

Straw Hair - YR24, YR23, YR21, YR20

Hat, Shoes, Buttons - E59, E57, E55, E31, E30

Now here's a look at what I came up with, starting with a new clear set called Quinton... I gave you a little sneak peek of him yesterday!

He's colored with Copics, and I glittered up the stars with Stardust Stickles. The sentiment comes with Quinton, but I only used a portion of it. And, of course I used some of the new Gumdrops!! I absolutely love these, and I can tell I am going to have to replenish my stash in no time! The colors I used here are Blue Raspberry, Olive Green, and Holly Berry Red.

I have one more card to share today, using the silly penguin from the new Christmas Critters clear set. He's colored with Copics, cut out, and popped up in a circle sponged with Memento Summer Sky Ink. The sentiment (included in the set) is stamped onto a banner from the Fishtail/Banner Die Set. I also used the new Icicle Border Die... LOVE!

It's time for more Fun Friday inspiration at the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog! There is an awesome sketch and inspiration photo to get those creative juices flowing!

      

I've used the sketch this time around , and inked up some of the irresistable monsters from the Silly Monsters set. They are all colored with Copics, cut out, and popped up in a row. The border was drawn with a black marker to frame in the sentiment.

I love the current Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge... a clean and simple sketch perfect for a large colored image. Just my style! :)

      

I used the new Peace on Earth Pixie from C.C. Designs for the focal image... isn't she pretty? I paper pieced her dress and hair bows, and added LOTS of glitter.

    

       

The sentiment is from the new AmyR Joyful Greetings Set.

Here is a close-up of this cutie... gives you a better view of all the sparkle!

    

Wings - B000, B0000
