Mornin' y'all! Sunday means it's time for a new challenge from The Paper Players...I think the colors I picked last week scared some people away, so I hope lots of stampers join in Jan's new Clean and Simple challenge!
Y'all know my brain is a bit wily, and as soon as I saw this challenge my wily brain immediately said...
TORNADO FROM WIZARD OF OZ!!! And yes, I do have Wizard of Oz stamps. Actually, I have Wizard of Oz stamps from multiple companies; the two I used today were part of a sheet (or possibly two?) of unmounted rubber stamps that I acquired years ago and I have no idea who the manufacturer is. I've used some other stamps from this set on a scrapbook layout before and I have lots more images that I haven't inked up at all yet, plus the stamps from other manufacturers too. (And as much as I love the original Wizard of Oz, I am Not A Fan of Wicked...I read it when the book came out and I just hated it!!) Anyway, I had to go with a sepia tone to match the beginning of the movie, and just a teensy bit of blue gingham to call Dorothy's dress to mind.

Christy, this is fantastic. I am a Wizard of Oz lover and these stamps are great. I grew up in Indiana and we experienced several tornados! They scare me to death. The pop of blue and the sentiment are fabulous! Have a great week, My Friend!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! How clever, and who would think to use a tornado on a card, but I love the sentiment AND the gingham as a nod to Dorothy's dress. I think my brain must be wired kind of like yours, LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh I so love your card. You have amazing imagination and talent. This is one perfect card!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love the way you think outside of the creative box - and have the supplies to back it up! Wizard of Oz stamps - next you'll be telling me you have Star Trek stamps... that would be the dizzy limit. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love this Christy - right down to the blue check of Dorothy's dress!
ReplyDeleteHow fun and creative, Christy! When I saw the blue gingham, I immediately thought of Dorothy's dress. The sentiment is the BEST. I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteThis cracks me up! So fun and creative. I love it! And I love that you have Wizard of Oz stamps!
ReplyDeleteChristy, this is a brilliant choice! It's absolutely cool that you have a collection of Wizard of Oz stamps. I love the fabulous tornado (just not the IRL ones) and the sentiment made me smile. I like how your wily brain works. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOK. I love that you have Oz stamps. I have to confess I was in my 50s before I saw the Wizard of Oz. Yeah. I know!!! I love this card - and that sentiment. There are so many times these days that I think that sentiment is the most appropriate! The little touch of gingham is the perfect reference to Judy Garland. All you needed was a little touch of red glitter, but am pleased you left the colors as they are. Fabulous CAS card
