The great sketch over at Friday Sketchers is what i have used for the layout, and CCT is to make a card with an outdoors theme!Before getting into papercraft in such a big way, i used to have a bit of an 'obsession' with fabric, fat quarters in particular. This was boosted by the fact that i attended some beading workshops in a lovely patchworking store that sold the most beautiful fabrics...and, i acquired a fair bit of it!!!
The gorgeous Scarecrow is from a piece of Debbie Mumm fabric where all the images are surrounded by the black chequered border, so i've added a similar effect to the background papers with my Zig pen!
All papers are Basic Grey 'Sugared' 6 x 6, the sentiment circle is a Pink Paislee stamp and the wording is from a set by Printworks.
This card reminds me a little of my childhood, when i lived in the coutryside where you would often see Scarecrows out in the fields, but none were as handsome as this chap :)
You may well be seeing some more cards with fabric as i found some other good ones today, completely by chance when i was looking for something else!!
I received this fabby award recently from two of my FH team mates Kath & Allison. I would like to award this to all of my visitors, so feel free to copy it and pass it on to seven of your favourites, with a link on your blog :)
