Card 1: Hey Hay Hey Scarecrow

With the Hey Hay Hey Stamps, I embarked on a delightful adventure featuring a sweet scarecrow. Using Copic markers, I brought the scarecrow to life with vibrant colors. I then created an ink-blended background using shades of light blue, evoking the crisp Autumn air. To complete the scene, I used the Corn Stalk Dies, ink-pouncing them with Paper Pouncers to easily add color. The result is a charming Autumn-themed card that radiates warmth and joy.

The second card features seamlessly blended red, orange, and yellow ink applied to the stamp with Paper Pouncers. The third card showcases a wreath formation using both large and small leaf stamps from the stamp set, colored with red and orange Copic markers.
