Three Heads are Better Than One

Hello.  Welcome.  Sometimes you just gotta go with it and have fun!!  The new challenge over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is Follow The Yellow Brick Road.  We want to see your stamped makes with witches, lions, yellow bricks, houses, flying monkeys, flying houses!! scarecrows, little girls and little dogs etc.  Anything that is inspired by the story of Oz!!  

I used the wonderful Carmen's Veranda Oz Scarecrow and then repurposed a few other stamps to make a bit of a scene.......... 


I've got a very puzzled looking Scarecrow standing on the yellow bricks of Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension with a Shooting Star night sky.  Behind him a flying monkey is taking a rest in part of the Emerald City, also known as Lost Coast Designs Large Tigger Shrine.


I started by stamping Lost Coast Designs Large Tigger Shrine on green card and embossing with pine green embossing powder.  I cut out the center of the image.  I also stamped and embossed Lost Coast Designs Oriental Doll and cut out the face.


I stamped Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension on yellow card and embossed with yellow embossing powder.
 


And since I seemed to have a tone on tone thing going on I stamped Shooting Star background on blackberry Bazzill and embossed with black powder.  Camera insisted on making the bazzill look distinctly grey but it is pretty black in the real and looks quite luxurious!!


I used the same green card and powder to stamp Carmen's Veranda Monkey Face, added some green and white gel pen detail to the eyes and stuck him behind the shrine aperture.  I also added the Oriental Doll face to the top of the shrine to represent the big I am Wizard of Oz.


Then I put all the bits together and added Carmen's Veranda Oz Scarecrow, stamped with Potting Soil archival, coloured with a delicious abandonment of Promarkers and distress inks and fussy cut.  


Hope you like my Yellow Brick road scene.  Join the fun for your chance to win Lost Coast dollars.  Remember the more players the bigger the prize.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
