Steps for Creating this Card

1. First, I die cut all the elements of the scarecrow out of Dove White cardstock and colored them in with Copic Markers.

2. Next, I stenciled in a square of Raspberry and Butter Bar Inks using the Alignment Tool as a stencil over a panel of Dove White Cardstock.

3. Then, I stamped an array of leaves with the same colors over the block.

4. After that, popped up the scarecrow and foliage over the panel with foam tape and Precision Glue.

5. Next, I trimmed down the panel a 1/4” on all sides and popped it up on foam tape over an A2 sized card base.

6. To finish off the card, I adhered some Icicle Sequins to the front with Precision Glue
