Gingerbread Man Scarecrow

 I think that this little scarecrow is so cute!!
He makes me smile. 
 
I used the 
#165785- Gingerbread Man Bundle= $54.00
How did I do it? 
 
NOTE:  When I stamped the gingerbread man I did NOT add ink to the 
very bottom of himas I didn't want ink to be on his legs/feet. 
 
To make his bib overalls I die cut the gingerbread man body,
cut off the arms, die cut scallops along bottom of the pant legs
& made his straps by cutting out of the center with scissors.
 
For the pumpkin I inked it in Pumpkin Pie ink pad,
carefully wiped off the stem & added Old Olive ink over it
and then stamped onto Basic White card stock.
I used scissors to fussy cut it out.
 
NOTICE the patch on his knee.
I used a little piece of the
#165903- Irregular Weave 3/8" Trim.
 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
