soot distress ink.
The card measure 6 x 4. Layered different papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and Core dinations12 x 12 paper pad.

Smiling scarecrow man :) I don`t think he not will scare anyone off lol.
Had to us some Petaloo flowers on his hat :)
Have put in a tag between the grass to write a message to the receiver on the backside.
Made a lokk so I can put something inside the flower pot. I used seeds bags but a tiny circle minialbum also would have been fun.

Decorated the flower pot with Petaloo flowers and May Arts jute ribbon.Used Sizzix grass die and Martha Stewart grass punch. The orange paper is from the
core`dinations paper pad.On top I used moss, some leafs, Petaloo flowers and fussy cut outroosters.
All inked up with vintage photo and black soot Distress ink.
Petaloo flower with a bird wood button in the center.
Glued a border on the inside. Put in some stones to make it study and some petaloo flowers fordecoration.
Have dried some seeds and put them in a paper envelope. Also put in some other seeds so thiswill be a great gift for a friend :)
Xyron is a great and strong glue to use and the sticker make i love using for my Tyvek envelopehinges on mini albums :)
Petaloo flowers co0rdinate so well with the G45 paper lines

Scarecrow Tutorial
Start with 4 wood sticks and use metal wire together with glue gun to secure the sticks together.Use a cotton wool ball for the head
Bind hamp on as large you want it. Mine is 10 inch from arm to arm and each leg bone is about 8
Paint the head white and draw a face. Glue hair on.
Use ink to give some red for cheeks and mouth. Also used a bit vintage photo with vater to makeit a bit old. Gut hair, legs and arms.
Measurements for shirt and pants. Used Claudine Hellmuth multi matte on the clothing to makethem more easy to form.
Used a plastic flower pot and put some stones inside to make it study. If you have a clay pot thatwould be perfect.
