Chicken Girl Designs September release

It's release day for Chicken Girl Designs!!!  Check out the September digis;

Perfect for September, right?  And so much fun!  I used Scarecrow Greetings for my card;

This summer while we were on holidays, I saw a stunning little watercolour in the National Gallery in Ottawa, Ontario done in sepia tones.  I stood and just stared at it, so beautiful in it's simplicity.  It was a little scene done in the early 1800's of the Ottawa River Valley and I was mezmerized by the way the artist captured movement in the Ottawa River without using a whole palette of colours.  *insert contented sigh*

I tried to capture the same feel with my copic markers, but it really reminds me of the black and white portion of 'The Wizard of Oz' instead!!!  I used my full range of warm greys to colour this scarecrow, and decided to add a pop of colour with the pumpkin. 

The pattern paper is from SEI's new line called, Spooks - a wonderful Halloween line which has sparkle and glam in a ghoulish kinda way.  I just love the ghost paper - I'll use it in the next couple of weeks - because it has a lot of alteration potential.  It has an ivory background and ghosts clear embossed all over the paper.  I'm thinking any number of emboss resist techniques to really jazz it up!
