What a fun couple of challenges! Today's patchwork and yesterday's sketch. I actually used to make patchwork quilts, but haven't in a long time. For this one, I made sort of a strip quilt on the bg by attaching vertical strips of 3 of the c/s colors to a base of the olive. Then I cut it into 3 strips horizontally, changed the order of the colors and put them back together.
My scarecrow was colored w/ markers and a water brush then cut out and attached to a Spellbinders circle that I had stamped the greeting and the circle design on.
I stamped the checkerboard flower on 3 colors of c/s w/ different colors of ink and cut them out, I attached die cut buttons on top. The brads are faux and I used a 1/4 inch hole punch on some leftover rust c/s that had part of the checkerboard flower on it. I used a stylus to round them out and give them the shape of real brads.
I added faux stitching w/ a black marker and layered all my panels together.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Gorgeous card, Julie! The arc and giga circle design work beautifully together and your coloring of the scarecrow is awesome. Those checkered flowers are the perfect embellishment, too!!

STELLAR, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, Julie!!! Love, love, love this wonderful patchwork scarecrow in all his autumn warmth. The details are perfection. Love the flowers in the bg and as embellies under the main image--you put that stamp to great use. It just doesn't get any better in my books, so did I mention that I just LOVE this guy!!
