It's that time again over at
More Paper Than Shoes blog, for our monthly challenge-this month we have such a treat for you "Two Challenges!!!".
A Halloween or Harvest/Fall Challenge!!! I decided to create for the
Harvest/Fall challenge-since I totally love pumpkins and crows!!!! here is my little creations.....enjoy
Theme:
Harvest or Fall-"Think Crop Season on the Farm!"Requirements:
Supplies: Glitter and ribbon
Embellishment: Hand made flower
Technique: Embossing
Surface: Any
I used a chipboard die cut of a crow, traced it onto a chipboard that would hold ink-cut him out and dragged black soot ink over the crow. Using
Verza Mark embossing ink applied to the Crow-topped off with black embossing
powder and heat set it to give a natural look. I also stamped a snowflake and embossed it to use as a spider web (
that's a great way to use your stamp sets you have laying on a shelf-think, outside the box with your stamps)!! Add some glitter and you have a cute little
Halloween or fall decoration.
A close up of my little crow and his
punkin patch-he is sure celebrating Harvest in style. One of our challenges was to create a hand made flower-this one was a tough one cause I could have made a ton of flowers-but this little cutie needed just the right flower. So here it is a "
Lollipop Flower" made from a strip of pattern paper, scored and folded-then glued the ends together to form a circle, popping the folded circle down
on top of a scrap piece of paper and adding glossy accents to bond the edges together.
whoo looa a very cute flower-add a little black pearl and my
punkin patch is complete.
A side view-the little pumpkins are scented home decoration to fill your home of fall spice. I couldn't resist using them in the patch...and the little stem berries I sprayed with Glimmer mist (sunflower, brick and coffee shop) to give it a more rustic feel. Wrapped the stems together and hot glued in place.

scrap on,
I took the same papers IOD and created these paper roses (which I have created alot, but this style is a little different-I learned this decorative edge from Tracey Mason a CTMH sista), please hop over and visit her blog and you will be blown away by a wedding cake she made out of papers and these roses! I added some more trims, punched out some pine bowes and finished off the roses with pearls. Last step I hot glued some wooden balls that I painted white to match for the bottom of the box for feet. 
Give me that Candy Cane!!! NO!!! UUU give me it!
