| Hi everyone, Dianna here with a my take on Gina's Designs Chipboard Scrarecrow. |
 |
 |
| I decided to really change it up and make it a girl. |
 |
| I trimmed the waist and curved the chest of the main form and the jacket. |
 |
| I stayed traditional with the face and pants by using burlap paper. Burlap is so much easier to use as a paper and still allows for the nice fraying on the edges. The hair was made up of burlap ribbon and some springy ribbon from Paper Studio. The eyes are two gears from Gina's Designs with brads as centers of the eyes and nose. I distressed the edges of the face with Tim Holtz, Distressed Ink. The main body was covered with a metallic gold paper and inked with bronze chalk ink. |
 |
| The ruffle was made by punching with a ruffle 1-1/2 inch on metallic bronze paper. The circles were squirted with water folded in half and folded fan like then dried. Once dried, the half circles were inked and glued on the main body of the scarecrow. Found some really cool paper at Hobby Lobby and used that for the jacket and skirt. The jacket was inked with bronze, silver and gold chalk ink and then glued to the main body. The gears, crow and keys from Gina's Designs were painted with white gesso, then painted with bronze and gold paint and finished with inking with brown. Copic markers N8, N6, N4 and W4 were used on the crow to get the feather effect. I liked how the bronze showed through the grays that I did not add gears to the crow. Scrap braiding was used for the edges of the jacket and the keys were used to close it. |
 |
| The skirt was punched with a scalloped punch, squirted with water and fan folded while damp. After drying, the skirt was glued on to the inked pants. Gears were glued on the pants as patches and the ruffles at the ends of the pants and jacket were left over scalloped circle punches from the ruffle shirt. |
 |
| The body was then glued to a Gina's Designs large tag that had been covered with burlap paper and inked with bronze, brown and gold chalk ink. The large black gear is from Gina's Designs and the burlap flower was made fom a Tim Holtz Sizzix die. Each section of the flower was inked with Tim Holtz Distressed Paint in bronze, silver and gold. The face of the scarecrow was glued last and everything was spritzed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist-Gold. Ribbons from The Paper Studio were used as tassels.
