Papernest Dolls Ellie with Scarecrow

Hello friends, we made it to the weekend.  Woohoo, I was ready for the weekend mid -week and we are finally here. Today I am sharing a z-fold box card using Papernest Dolls Ellie with Scarecrow.  She is too cute and a great addition for any fall projects.  I had so much fun creating this card to showcase Ellie with Scarecrow.

I colored both images using copics and used my brother scan and cut to cut out the images.  I decided to use doodle bug flea market paper collection for this card.  This paper collection just went perfect with this cutie.   I used various die cuts from jaded blossom to layer through-out the card.  I stamped the sentiment out and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I placed the sentiment in the wooden barrel with the other layered die cuts.  

  Copic Colors used:

Skin: E13, 11, 00, 000

Hair: E37, 33, 31

Orange: YR68, Y 38, Y17

I stamped the image out on copic x-press it card stock and colored him up using copics.  I cut out the image using my brother scan and cut.  I created the box using a tutorial I found on Facebook. I cut out the k-cup insert using my circuit.  I used the amber moon collection by prima to layer on the box.   The pumpkin border and wooden sign were cut out using Jaded Blossom dies.  The sentiment is also from Jaded Blossom called Happy Fall.  I added all of the elements on the belly band so that the recipient can re-use the box if need be.
