Amira's Halloween Play Challenge #5 - Scarecrow

Welcome back to Day #5 of the #HalloweenPlayChallenge.

Today I am playing with Mr Scarecrow!!!

I am also playing with Raffia which I hope to turn into a straw element to stuff Mr Scarecrow with!

Just look how AMAZING Mr Scarecrow looks!!!

I then added some birds so that it looked like they were spooked out of the fields and have taken flight behind the scarecrow.

I went ahead and added more "straw" at the base of the scarecrow and behind the green grass for an added feature on the card.

Next, I added a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Halloween Clippings Stickers that seems quite apt for Mr Scarecrow.

And here is the final card

I enjoyed this die so much I made another card.

This one has a much more "messy mixed media"look to it

The background looks ominous like something creepy this way comes!

Needless to say, Mr Scarecrow here is UPSET!

And here is the card
