We're off To See The Wizard

My sister in law asked me if I could make a Wizard of Oz themed New Home card, and after a wee bit of googling we found these awesome characters made from the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cart.

So I got to work, naturally adding red stickles to Dorothy's shoes and then having to figure out how to get them onto a card whilst still doing the dolls the justice they deserve.  Bingo!  I thought about a side step card, using a piece of Kraft bazzil as the base as I felt white would be too stark.  Obviously I had to get the castle in there too, and a yellow brick road, the only thing missing was a rainbow, and I would have used one too if I had a piece of printable acetate left.   Toto was cut from Create a Critter, which I am dying to play with but had to get this card done first.  The basket was from doodlecharms.  Oh and the title was cut on Cuttin Up font which I welded on Design Studio.

I have just got back from my brothers, grudgingly handing it over and waving bye to it as I left lol, the three of us were sat staring at it for ages.  Though it has made me realise that there are sooo many possibilites with this cart and step cards, so watch this space!

Oh and the whole thing made me really want to watch the movie, so I managed to pick up a copy for £5 in Asda, yay!
