I am so excited about my project today. I got this bird cage on sale and planned to make a Spring Floral bouquet inside with some birds and butterflies. When I sat down to start with my Giant Flowers cartridge I decided I wanted to try the Poppy since it is the California state flower.
Well from there the next thing I knew I was doing an Oz theme and I finally cut into my Graphic 45 Wizard of Oz paper. I love Graphic 45 paper but it is always hard for me to cut into it for the first time.
Graphic 45 Wizard of Oz paper and chipboard pieces
Pieces are fussy cut "hand cut"
Poppys cut from Giant Flowers Cricut cart 4", 3 " and 2 1/2 "
Inked with Quick Quotes Ink
Oz is the castle from Happily Ever After cut at 8 " 4 times
Dorothy's red shoe is from Princess Party and then I hand pieced the toe to fill it in.
Yellow brick road is hand cut and embossed with Cuttlebug
The base is green oasis and the mountain is made with torn paper grocery bag and glued to base
Adhesives- Glue gun, Pop dots, Dots, and Tacky glue
Ribbon was blue and white check to match Dorothy's dress
I wanted it to match Graphic 45 muted checks so rubbed Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink on both sides.
The last item was a red ruby slippers pin I have had for years that a friend gave me that I pinned to the ribbon.
I am also entering this in the Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge " Center of Attention"
