Artistic Outpost's newest release is a collection of stamps inspired by Dorothy and Toto in that wonderful land of Oz, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to Guest Design again.
When I was little, the flying monkeys terrified me, so I don't remember watching it all the way through without covering my eyes. However, in high school, I played the oboe in the pit band for our school musical production of the play … and I'm guessing I could still sing all of the songs.
Oz Collage features everything that we love about that whimsical tale: the Tin Man, the ruby slippers, the Scarecrow, and of course Dorothy and Toto. Available in both unmounted sheets and pre-trimmed and mounted on EZMount cling foam, I believe this one will soon be one of your favorities. All images are sized to work well together, and the Tin Man and Scarecrow collages are perfect 2.5" x 3.5" for ATCs and die cutting.
My first card features the fabulous ruby slippers. I inked the stamp with Versamark & then with Lipstick Red ColorBox Chalk ink & embossed them with Ranger Polysparkle embossing powder for a wonderful all-over glittery sparkle.
My yellow brick road was made by embossing yellow metallic cardstock with the Tim Holtz Alterations Bricked Embossing folder and then I used my finger to add Metallic Rub-ons to bring out the texture of the bricks. I finished with one of the great sentiments from the set & two red mosaic tiles.
I used a little piece of the brick road to make another Twinchie card with a different sentiment from the set accented with some adhesive red gems. I seriously love those glittery shoes.
