I'm somewhat limited on Autumnal stuff, but I did have this gorgeous scarecrow. It's a freebie from BECCY'S PLACE. Thanks, Beccy. I didn't have a clue what else I could do with the card other than wanting to do some panels. I've got my first Big and Juicy inkpad 'Spice' and really wanted to use it, so I got out some shiny card and brayered away and then cut the 4 panels. The background paper is from the 'All Fall' pad from Fancy Pants, inked with walnut stain distress ink.
After I'd coloured the scarecrow, I inked around his edges with spiced marmalade and walnut stain.
Once again, I dug deep into the dark recesses of my craft room for stuff I hadn't used (or even looked at) for years and found the skeleton leaves, dried ferns and corn. Old hat, I know...I mean, when was the last time you saw skeleton leaves used on a card, lol. Still, somehow, I think they work and I actually quite like the finished result - for a change.
I'm entering Mr Scarecrow into the following challenges this week:

This is terrific Lorraine! I enjoyed reading your little blurb about the skeleton leaves, and I agree they really suit the theme... old or not!
Thanks for sharing your work.

Cute card! Love that scarecrow!
I'm sorry about the word verification and moderation on my blog, but I was being plagued by spam comments - even after putting on the word verification, so I have both for now, to see if they stop. If I have none for a while, I shall take one off, then the other and then keep my fingers crossed! lol
