Sidetracked!

Since I saw the "Virginia's View Challenge" at Lily Pad Cards the other day, I couldn't get this card idea out of my head!  Stayed up WAY too late putting it together.  Poppies always make me think of The Wizard of Oz!  Here's my "quirky" take on the challenge:


"Dorothy" is from a Close To My Heart set called "Uptown Girl".   I altered her, obviously, because typically she's upright and walking a dog!  The castle stamp came from a children's stamp set that my daughter got for her birthday one year (sorry, no info printed on it that I could find).  Dorothy and the castle are both sporting a bit of Copic coloring and Crayola Glitter Glue.  Dorothy's skirt is paper pieced from Making Memories Twine Plaid, Ice Blue, Watercolor Collection.  The rest of the card stock were from my stash.  I cut the hills and brick and shaded them and the background with Ranger Distress Ink.  The poppies were cut out with a TINY hole punch and sent through the Xyron Create-a-Sticker.  I printed the sentiment off Word onto the yellow first, and then cut that out.  The bricks I drew with a black Zig Writer marker.  The little bits of ribbon on her braids was cotton craft thread from my stash.

This card is entered in the following challenges:
