This is for LSC131 and I tried to do a triple challenge on one card.
Challenge 1 to use three Halloween or autumn fall stamps on one card.
Challenge 2 To use a non traditional animal for a Halloween or fall card
Challenge 3 To make a Halloween or fall Tent Topper Card.
I think I accomplished all three challenges on this one card. I have never made a tent topper before and for some reason couldn't find instructions in my search. I'm sure because I was too inpatient. I think I did it right???????
I stamped my main image which is a House Mouse Happy Hopper image that I think is darling. I could just see a pile of pumpkins laying on that big, fat rabbit in the wheelbarrow and that poor little bunny pulling the big load down the path. I masked the main image and stamped pumpkins from the Loads of Love Accessories to create the little field of pumpkins to be harvested. I stamped the pumpkins images from Thoroughly Thankful to cut out and to pop up on the big rabbit and the tnet topper.
All images are colored with brushes and reinkers. The ground area is sponged with caramel and the grass area was brushed stipple style with a dry brush in brushed across artichoke pad. I filled in texture with my mini fern and ibb. I sponged the complete scene with mustard ink.
Don't you think that big bunny has a Jack Benny kind of look on his face. He just needs his hand up to his chin. For those of you who are too young to remember Jack Benny.....well...you know!!! I am old.

He does remind me of Jack Benny....and he's making that poor little bunny drag him around with those heavy pumpkins! I think tent toppers were a sketch challenge a couple of weeks ago; Michelle Wooderson made them famous!!
