MME 'Ooh la la' 12x12 paper - Get In Line #OLL114 (yellow brick road)
Echo Park 'Life Is Good' 12x12 paper - Set The Table #LG2011 (meadow)

Isn't this set the cutest?  It was crying out to be made into a 'yellow brick road' scene, and as I love making scenes, I just had to go with it!  (I have a sneaky suspicion that you will find many scene cards on today's hop, hee hee!)  After rummaging through my papers, I found some old 12x12 MME that had a gold grid pattern perfect for the yellow brick road.  Once I'd chosen all my papers, I drew my scene onto some scrap card, cut out all the pieces to make templates, drew around the templates onto the patterned paper, cut them out and ... voila, a patterned paper jigsaw! :)

I wanted to draw the rainbow straight onto the background paper so it had a transparent look to it.  I started with the violet colour (V15), laying the next colour on top of each arc as I went - that way I could control the exact position of the rainbow.  The colours I used were R14, Y13, Y38, YG06, B02, BV02, V15, but as I said I added them in reverse order. I stamped the sentiment onto white card and then drew a freehand cloud shape around it, cut it out, then defined the edges with W1 and W0.

I added some Stickles to the tops of the Emerald City peaks, but it doesn't really show in the main photo, so here is a side angle complete with sparkle:

I'm quite pleased with how this card turned out; it was SO fun to make! :)

I'm super excited that one of my all-time cardmaking and Copic colouring idols, Amy Young, is joining us for today's preview - yay! Amy is this month's guest designer over at Karber and so is showcasing the adorable Karber Wizard of Oz today along with the SCRS designers!
