Wanted … Brain

I thought Cosmo Cricket Wanted papers would be perfect to combine with the Artistic Outpost Oz Collage … and I love the results.  I love every Artistic Outpost set, but I must admit, this is one is becoming one of my favorites.  I also love the play on words since each of the Move Characters "wanted" something.  

The woodgrain paper that the scarecrow is stamped on reminds me of straw or a rattan place mat.  I colored very heavily with Prismacolor Pencils and then went back with a soft eraser and used it to blend and remove color for shading.  I used this week's Eat, Sleep, Stamp Sketch for my design.

I cut the sentiment in half to make it work for the sketch & finished with some just packaging twine.  When I unravel the ends of the twine, it reminds me of the texture of straw, which seemed perfect for the Scarecrow.
