Wicked – Tutorial #436

Today’s tutorial uses the Stampin’ Up! set Wicked Cool.  Now this image of the witch’s feet have been rattling around in my head and I just got around to putting this scene down on paper.   Does the Wizard of Oz come to mind, lol. 

Let’s see who can come up with the best sentiment for this card, LOL.  Who would you send it to?

I use to work with a women that I could easily send this to.  🙂  Awww, now that wasn’t too nice of me.

Let’s get started on the tutorial. . . . . 

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Wicked Cool
Paper: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Real Red and Whisper White
Ink: Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand & Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponges, Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Black, Real Red & Sahara Sand Markers, Post it note
Techniques: Masking

Sponged Pear Pizzazz ink at the bottom of a 3.5″ x 5″.   Stamped the Witch’s feet on the card stock after loading it with Basic Black & Real Red marker.

Mask the top of the card stock using a post it note.   Drew a line of Sahara Sand marker at the post it note edge.

Moved the post it note up a bit and sponged in Sahara Sand ink.  Moved the post it note up again a bit and sponged in Sahara Sand ink.  Repeated until the lines run to the top of the card stock.

Cut a 1 7/8″ square of Whisper White card stock.  Added 4 – 7/8″ squares of Basic Black card stock.

Added the window to the scene.  Outlined the left side and bottom of the Window and feet to create a shadow.

Added 2 Real Red panels and 1 Basic Black panel.  Added Basic Black taffeta ribbon.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be Wicked Fun!

I’m off to Owing Mills, Maryland in the morning to teach this weekend.

    That is awesome!!! love how you made the clapboards! My sentiment would have to go to a very pregnant friend with a good sense of humor………Heard you were big as a house! and on the inside it would say something like congratulations on your pregnancy!
    I know, I told you she would have to have a sense of humor! LOL!

    How about: “Thinking of you” or “I found this picture of you…”

    I could totally see myself sending this to one of my sisters with those sentiments! Make it a funny!

    Can not think of a clever title. But love the suggested one *Ding-dong the witch is dead!*
    I would probably send it to mycousin’s wife who is a HUGE Oz fan. Your siding is fabulous. You amaze me with your shading and brayering such realistic art. Hugs…

    Hoping you’re better soon! 🙂

    Tho I really liked Ruhkshana’s comment above (don’t be shy; come over and say hello)

    “That was her sister the wicked witch of the East. This is the witch of the West and she’s worse than the other one was.” Seems to me I should be able to come up with something to go with this line to send to my sister for fun 🙂

    Could also send it to someone in Tornado Alley as some kind of best wishes for a good season 🙂

    “Be gone, before someone drops a house on you, too!” as encouragement for someone to have the courage to leave a job they hate and which has a bad atmosphere.

    Fun card! 🙂

    Oh My Gosh!! How awesome is this card? I LOVE how you did the siding on the house!! In the pictures it actually looked like cardstock or a stamp or something. I just love how you use effects to make ‘real things’ (does that even make sense?).

    I’m not good with coming up with captions, but just had to leave a note about the card in general!

    TFS.
