Over The Rainbow with Tulip Sprite Aurora Wings Challenge

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey all! I can't even tell you how much fun I had with the new challenge over at the Aurora Wings Challenge blog! The challenge this month is "Over The Rainbow". The very first thing that I thought of was Judy Garland singing Over The Rainbow in the movie The Wizard of Oz, so yes that is where I went with this.

I used to watch the Wizard of Oz every year that it would come on TV. Yes, I am that old that we didn't have netflix, hulu and cable dvr boxes haha! I had to wait once a year for it to come on. I don't really even remember when it came on.. I just remember being excited and BEGGING my mom to let me stay up past my bedtime to finish watching the whole thing.

Believe it or not I can still sing the entire Lollipop Guild song by heart... and do it to annoy my kids haha!! Jerry Maren was the last living Lollipop Guild munchkin alive until May of 2018 at the age of 98 years old. So this card is a bit of a tribute to him.



This little fellow is the Tulip Sprite from Aurora Wings. He is just cute as can be but when I saw him, the first thing I thought of was "oh my gosh!! He looks like a lollipop guild member!!!" You can ask Meadow that is exactly what I said haha!

What do you think? Here is a photo of Jerry



I absolutely love it! You can even see the famous yellow brick road right behind Jerry in the photo. As I also have done with the little Tulip Sprite. I had a Darice embossing folder that looked like brick, so why not use some So Saffron yellow paper that looked close to the yellow brick road.



I even put a little bit of my fake yellow brick road on the back layer of the card.



Another one of my favorite characters besides Toto of course is the Scarecrow. Granted I would have tried to fit them all into this card if I could have found a way and the card still look nice... however, I had to pick and choose. So I used a bit of twine that made me think of the Scarecrow's hair around the layers behind the Tulip Sprite.



The last thing I did was to add a few dew drops that I got from Amazon onto the card. Not sure how they fit in... but they look nice haha!



Here are the Copic markers I used:

• Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, R20


• Petals: Y00, 02, 08, YR21, 23, 16


• Leaves: G20, 21, 24
