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. . . . .

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.

Love this card!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know a couple of people who are deserving… I haven’t broken down and bought the set yet but I can see some projects around the book/musical “Wicked”…
‘Don’t be shy come over & say hello’ (for new neighbours).
Too cute! I love what you do with shapes!!
Take care and STAY POSTIIVE Michelle!!

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!
omg Michelle. Is everything ok??? You used “Ribbon” on a card. lol Love it!! btw loved your class in Ottumwa. It was awesome. I can’t wait till you come back again. Thanks for everything….
Too cute for words! You definitely gave me a smile… tku for sharing.
Dang! You are a creative genius!
Love it!
Love it, can I have two, one for my mum and one for my mother in law, I love them both to bits but lovinly refer to them as the wicked witches.
I LOVE THIS!!!! So cool.
Yup. It’s a rough life when you’re a wicked witch! Very clever, Michelle! Thanks for pushing us out of the box – again!
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…
A song lyric came to mind….”I ain’t missin’ you at all.”
I did it! I just completed this tutorial!!! I love this one Michelle, it is my ‘current’ fav!

oh this gave me quite the giggle! thanks so much for sharing!
enjoy your weekend!
Too fun! Love it!
Too cute!!! Love the tutorial. Looks like layers in the clapboard technique – very cool.
This is just DARLING and the comments are great, too. What popped into my head was …
“What’s dropped into your world lately?”
Ever have one of those days! Cute card.
I really could have used this in the spring. My daughter was in the wizard of oz. Oh well, I just love this card anyway. I think it is one of my favorites and you have done so many I really love. Thank you for always sharing.

Love this card — how about “Things around the house getting you down?”
My folks are under a ton of home repairs and would so appreciate this card!
Thanks for the tutorial on it — I don’t own the set, but would love to try it!
love your ideas!! i had the pest control guy here today and found that the wasps have built a “condo” in one of our walls!! I’d like my house to drop on THEM!! “things around the house getting you down” is PERFECT for me, too!
This is so awesome.. You are so creative.
Love this! I agree with julie that is talking about sending it to someone in the middle of renovation! excellent thought for a sentiment, too!!! i love to see all of the creative ideas you have – but then i noticed that you’re coming to my town (owings mills) this weekend! have a safe trip – and hope you have some time to do some fun things too! (besides stamping and brayering, of course!!)
Love how you built the house with shadows.
Happy Birthday…dont die from excitement!
Happy Birthday…don’t let the house drop on you!
Ding dong the witch is dead….sorry about the loss of your loved one. (bad)
Happy Halloween….
Dropping in to say hello?
I’m sorry…a house have fell on me. Please forgive me.
I got another one….
Oh congratulations on that new pair of shoes…hee hee
Wow! This is so adorable! Love it, love it, love it! You are such a clever stamper!
Shawn K.
Love the card! How about something the Shirrells said in a song back when I was a teen-ager (a LOOONG time ago! LOL)-
“Momma said there’d be days like this!”
Hugs-
Kavi
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!
OOoops! That wasn’t exactly what I meant to say! Soooo Sorry for my Gaffe!
How cute and clever! Another great way to use this stamp set!
I think – “Happy Birthday – you deserve some shiny new shoes!”
I don’t know why but “Hang in There” comes to mind.
Great card! Wow- you worked with her too? LOL
The only title or theme I thought applied was
“Drop by—-Unexpectedly”
Beautiful, creative work. Your creations are ALWAYS totally fascinating!! Thank you for being a SU demo.
Love the card Michelle! Great sentiment suggestions too!
Love this card – too cute TFS
I LOVE IT…. “Ding-Dong”
Michelle – this card is too cute! Saving for trying my hand at it later. Thanks, as always, for your marvelous inspiration.
This card is an absolute scream!!! Thanks for sharing.
FUN card!
You’re day may not be going so well…
but at least it’s better than the Wicked Witch of the East’s day!
lol Such a fun card! I love what someone said…..Mama said there’d be days like this. I was thinking of an encouragement card for someone who is a girly girl…..
Front: When it feels like the whole world has crashed down on you…..
Inside: Cheer up!! Your shoes are fabulous!!
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.
OMGosh! This is soooooo cute!
I have made a similar card (not NEARLY as nice as this) with the sentiment, “You just haven’t been the same since that house fell on your sister.” And a slightly-less insulting one, “Things just haven’t been the same since that house fell on my sister.” They are quite popular sellers.
Great card and use of this stamp set.
I had 3 thoughts:
1. “Oh boy, I just hate it when this happens”
2. “Guess I under-estimated that one!”
3. “I really missed you”
Take care,
NJ
How about one of my favorite sayings: “You’re just mad that someone dropped a house on your sister!” LOL Always love your work Michelle!
Best, Curt
How about “Don’t make me drop a house on you!” on the inside “Call me!” Love this and can’t wait to try it. A friend of mine attended one of your classes and loved it. She has taught a few brayering techniques at our stamp camps. Everyone loves them. I am watching for one of your classes close to my home or my parents home. I can’t quite get this technique down so a I am looking forward to taking a class from you. Thank you for sharing. You are extremely talented!
Going thru my stamps and came across “the perfect ending to a perfesct day” lol. I thought of this card
