You may have seen this on the Mark's Finest Papers blog.  I had fun with this even though black embossing powder and I are not friends.  It never fails that I end up with little black specks where I do not want them.  What's a girl to do, but roll with it!  I penned in a wire for this crow to hang out on.  A little sentiment and a couple of colored gems and that is a finished card!

The first thing I noticed about the new set called Scarecrows was all the fun fonts and sentiments here.  I thought, "Word Collage!" and a card was born.  Okay, I had to think about it a little more than that, but it was a no-brainer for me.  Fall colors are my favorite and I was more than happy to have them all spread out on my desk.  One thing you should know is that this is  a mini card.  It is 3.5 x3.5 so the die cut leaf isn't all that huge.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come on back tomorrow for more creativity.
