Riley and Company Sneak Peek #1 and my first Easel Card!!!

Finally, the Sneak Peeks are here for the Release we have all been waiting for, the "There's No place like Home", Riley and Company Release of the Riley in Oz stamps. Here is my first sneak peek:

Isn't this stamp just adorable!!!  Dorothy and Toto is just one of the stamps being offered in this huge release.  There is, Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Wicked Witch, the Good Witch, a Flying Monkey and the Yellow Brick Road.  There are also 3 very useful and funny word sets that are a must have.  The sentiment on this card is one of 17 saying on one of the sheets of words.
I have been wanting to make an easel card but just hadn't tried it, what was I waiting for, they are so much fun.  Dorothy was colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink.  The ovals are Spellbinder dies.  I had these cute buttons I thought would work well for the easel stop.
The flower on the lower left corner is a crepe paper flower, I showcased last week, and the leaves are MS punch leaves.  The blue check dp is from my stash and I have had it forever but it was so perfect for Dorothy I had to use it.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the rest of the DT's sneaks, I know they are going to be awesome, can't wait to see them myself.
Be sure to stop by each day for a sneak peak, Tuesday is a Riley and Company Challenge and I am sure will feature more Oz stamps.  The Riley and Company Blog Hop is Wednesday night at 10:00 Central time.  Tanya is letting each of the DT members give away two limited edition phrase stamps that can only be won and will not be available for purchase.  You need to comment on each DT members blog post for a chance to win.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

I have just returned from a month out of the country and I see you have been very creative in my absence. I have so many blogs to catch up on and unfortunately I just don't have time to comment on all the posts I missed but I thoroughly enjoyed my journey through your last four weeks of work and I look forward to visiting again soon. Warmest Wishes, Lesley

What a super cute easel card with Dorothy on it. I especially like how you made her dress. It looks dress like the one that she wore on in the movie.
