There's No Place Like Home...

My little boy loves the book, The Wizard of Oz. I have to admit that, when I was a girl, I was afraid of the movie -- I mean, who wouldn't be frightened of flying monkeys? This week's 2 Sketches 4 You Sketch Challenge had us playing with some very fun repositionable stickers, and when I saw how adorable they were, any fears I had went right out the window!

This week's sketch is from the ever fabulous Kazan, and I flipped it to create an "emerald" stage. I love the decorative edge of the sketch and I made that the top of card. Now I'm off to, what else? See the Wizard, perhaps?

  2. Sponge background on card stock. Adhere to card.

This is so adorable. Like taking a curtain call after the show. Very cute.
PS: I admit I was a afraid of parts of the show as well...... I can still see those flying monkeys coming after me!
