Wicked

This is actually my second attempt at the Wicked Witch from Visible Image's Wizard of Oz series, she's brilliant but I really struggled with her skin. The first one I did had really dark green skin but I just didn't like the finished look.So I decided to lighten her skin a little and I was quite pleased with the outcome (although these pictures don't do her justice).

I stamped the witch onto white card and coloured her with Promarkers. I then stamped the fireball onto red card using Versamark and embossed it with orange Wow powder, I then used an embossing pen to colour the inside of the fireball to emboss using yellow Wow powder.

I created the background using several mica sprays and stamped the small flying monkeys onto it using grey Memento ink.

Finally I stamped and embossed the 'Beautifully Wicked' words onto card and mounted it onto black card.

Dorothy

I know I've said this before but I love Visible Image stamps so here is another one for you.

 This is Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz range, she's been coloured using Promarkers and cut out ready to go onto a 6x6 card.

 Next I concentrated on the background, I've been playing about with my mica sprays to create different effects on my cards. This one was done using watercolour card, water, green and yellow mica sprays. 

I was really happy with the 'yellow brick road' effect running throught the middle of my finished piece.

However this card was missing something, so I added the birds using the stamps included in this set, I used Memento to do this as I didn't want the stark black  would have got from something like StazOn.

 Finally I used another of the stamps from this set to create the embossed 'Dreams do come true' wording.
