I love the look of a very large mat and a small image in the middle. You can't see it well in the photo, but I have used the Stampin' Up 3D Folder called Corrugated for the white panel and the kraft panel behind the pumpkins.

 

You can see the corrugated look better here.

Double D - Octoberfest

Dear Ones~

I can't believe it's time for Octoberfest, but there you just are. And that's the theme for the new Double D Challenge. Here's the Mood Board for our inspiration:

 

Here is what I came up with:

This cute Scarecrow is from a new set over at Gina K Designs called Autumn Scarecrow. It's designed by Debrah Warner, and I just think he's so stinkin' cute. I had a great time paper piecing him with various patterned papers. Love how he turned out. That textured panel behind the Scarecrow is a piece of wall paper I found in my stash. Have no idea what it's called.

 

 

Here's a closer look at him. He just makes me smile.

The Ingredients:

Paper Studio Natural Botanical Patterned Papers

SU Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla Card Stock

GKD Autumn Scarecrow Stamp Set

Concord & 9th Layering Leaves Dies for "Wheat"

SU Tasteful Label Die for Greeting

SU Copper Embellishments
