Or maybe watercoloring those pretty flowers late at night will work! The Wizard of Oz was one of my favorite movies as I was growing up, and I still love it. The costumes, the music, the beautiful, bright colors, everything! Well, everything except for the flying monkeys. Those just Creeped. Me. Out! My dad would hide behind the couch and grab our shoulders whenever we watched that part. No matter HOW old I am, those monkeys still give me the willies!
Anyway, I made this card at the end of Friday evening. I was already nodding off, but really wanted to finish it up. Love the bright colors, and the easy peasy layout. Here’s my Wizard of Oz-inspired card:
Stamps: Poppy Stems, Poppy Trio and Open Bloom (center only, on green)by Stampendous, and Just So Sayings
Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Pink Passion, Shimmery White.
Ink: Palette Noir, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: May Arts ribbon; Creative Candy by A Muse on either side of sentiment, foam dots to raise main image. Watercolored with aquapainter and watercolor crayons, and then added a touch of Orange Peel Stickles.
Trivia: I painted the window wall of my stamp room with Ralph Lauren’s California Poppy. Perfect match. 😀

Hmmmm, that card is just delicious. With 2 little girls, Wizard of Oz is a frequent in the DVD player. Love your take! Did I mention how much I love *your* stampendous stamps? Can’t wait to play with mine!
Wow…this is awesome (and I love how you tied it in with the Dorothy image!)…
It’s one of my favorite classic movies, and I love your card. Your watercoloring is wonderful, as well as how you used the Poppy Trio for the background. Nice!!
Really beautiful, Jenn. Love the color combo and your watercoloring is wonderful.
Sooooo beautiful, Jenn! I’m a newbie at making cards, but I hope to be as good as you one day! :o)

Great card! Looks just like the picture! 🙂
That is just beautiful! Don’t ya just love the easy to fall back on layouts?
I just seen another card done in orange this morning, and I can’t believe how beautiful it looks on cards! Thank you for the inspiration!
Wonderful card! Bright and Cheery. – The Wizard of Oz is certainly a classic. Of course it came out the same year as my favorite movie (Gone With The Wind) and to me they are worlds apart but both great movies. I also love “floral” stamps but am trying to resist these which you are making it hard to do! Ida
This is gorgeous Jenn! Just love that stamp and the colors…wow! It really pops!
This card is beautiful! I, too, have a poppy-colored craft room…it is very inspiring. This card is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
You’re out of the woods. You’re out of the dark. You’re out of the night. Step into the sun. Step into the light…..
I heart The Wizard of Oz. I think I might need to buy the soundtrack now!!! Poppies make me smile! This card is gorgeous. Love the images in the background!!!
A beautiful card!
