'the Magic of OZ' 

Hello dear G45ers! 

Happy to share with you my #G45Technique 
project this month featuring the lovely 
The Magic of Oz Deluxe Collector's Edition.

This collection made its appearance
 before I started my papercrafting 

journey and I am beyond thrilled to see 
it as a DCE. The patterns,colours and 
imagery are all just fabulous. I love
 everything about it! It is such 
a fun line to work with!

Today we will be exploring the
  Graphic 45 Decades Dye Ink pads

on a watercolor paper background. I
have fussy-cut all the cute elements
 from the signature page to tell the story.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

The Magic of Oz DCE
Clearsnap Decades Ink Pad Venetian Lace
Clearsnap Decades Ink Pad Rustic Orange
Clearsnap Decades Ink Pad French Lilac

Other Supplies used:

Watercolor Paper
Spray Bottle with water

Chipboard Circles and Spider Webs

Embossing Powder

Gold Metallique Wax

Yellow Paint

Purple and Black Paint

Sand Texture Paste

Brick Stencil

Foam Board/Cardboard
Circle Punch
Sequins

Fussy-cut all the elements from the

 signature page The Magic of Oz 

and some of the compass circles from

 the Wicked! page. Punch a few 

circles from the left over pieces from 

the signature page using a circle

punch.

Ink the sides of the watercolor paper

 with the rustic orange ink pad. Make 

sure to leave some open spaces

 in between for the other 

two colours.

Tip: Use the fussy-cut title as a

 guideline when inking, thus making

sure how much colour you want to

 add and where.

Next randomly ink the other two

 colours French lilac and Venetian lace

in the open spaces whilst blending 

the colours.

Spray the inked edges with water

 and heat dry.

Tip: You can dab off some of the

 excess water with a paper towel if 

you wish. You could also tilt the page

from side to side if you want the ink

 to run on the page.

The result of the colours on the 

watercolor paper once it is dry. 

Add a brick wall or in this case a yellow

 brick road at the bottom of the page. Mix 

some sand texture paste with yellow

 paint. Apply this to the background over 

a brick stencil. Leave to dry. Lightly 

brush the 'bricks' with gold metallique wax.

Heat emboss the chipboard spider 

webs with distress embossing 

powder in black soot, lightly brush 

gold metallique wax on top. Heat 

emboss the circles with yellow.

Adhere all the fussy-cut pieces together. 

Place some foam board or cardboard 

behind the solid piece for dimension.

 Glue to the page.

Tip: Remember to add paint splatters

 to the page before adhering the 

fussy-cut cluster.

pads and create your own 

coloured background.
