Scarecrow at Sunrise

Evening All,

Just taking a few minutes to write up this post so it will be brief. I have another seasonal card to share with you today.

The background is another of the considerable number of prints I made with the Gelli plate quite a while back now ... I'm steadily finding a use for them all. As usual it was made using some bubble wrap and a Special Touch mask - Fretwork, I think - and a combination of yellow, orange, white, and even a touch of black acrylic paints.

The topper has been inked with a combination of Tim Holtz DIs - wild honey, weathered wood, black soot - and Adirondack - sunshine yellow, peach bellini, willow. The Scarecrow and Wild Poppies are from Clarity Stamps - stamped in Memento tuxedo black and coloured with ProMarkers - apricot, ginger, lime green, pastel yellow, buttercup and cool grey 1.  This is the first time ever that I've tried to create a sunrise, actually showing the rays radiating out from the sun, and ripe fields of goodness knows what ready to harvest ... hope you have a good imagination :))

Wild Poppies simply stamped in black for the insert.

I'd like to submit this card to the following challenges that all have a photo for inspiration:

Colour Throwdown # 263  - photo & colour inspiration ... didn't have the exact colours so substituted with what I do have.

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #66 - Anything Goes

Papercraft Star Challenge # 165 - photo inspiration that includes a scarecrow :)

Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 94 - although there is only one tiny snippet - the piece of white card that is the basis of the topper - every little snippet used helps :)

I'm off to lie down now ... I finally cleared out my wardrobe this afternoon, discovered a lot of forgotten stuff, much for good reason, and I'm utterly exhausted! And I'll swear there's not a bone in my body that isn't aching :(

I hope you are all well and that Monday has been good to you. Thanks for dropping by.

Take care and happy crafting,
