Scarecrow 2 ways

  Hi Everyone here I am with my DT card for today, it's for the challenge at QKR. Our challenge is on the 1st and 15th of every month, so you have 2 chances every month to enter the challenge.

We will select two winners each of the weeks 
1 using QKR Stampede  or Eureka Stamps image
 and 1 using any image!

Anything Goes every 1st & 15th of the month

I went through the fab QKR images and decided to use this happy Scarecrow. Firstly changing the background of a photo, I took a couple of years ago of a Rape Seed field in Lincolnshire, to an oil painting effect. It's quite a subtle effect, I added the sentiment to the grass and a shadow for the Scarecrow to "sit" on.  Next I added paper piecing to the Scarecrow overalls, and some hessian effect paper to his face and leather effect paper to his boots, then painted the rest of him. All in Photoshop. 

The background was printed with 2 different sentiments I thought of, I couldn't decide, so did both. Why not ay? The digital Scarecrow was printed and fussy cut out, then 3D'd onto the yellow background card, both added to the ready made card.

I decided to try and copy the digi with DI's, I have to say for a non colourist I was pleased with the overall effect, get it? "overall"! OH! Well. 😉 I fussy cut him out and 3D'd him onto the different sentiment.

Anyhow, here they are separately and together.
