Alice in Wonderland for Sparkles Monthly

Birthday, Child Friendly, Food and/or Drink items, Magical/Mythical/Fairytale, Mixed Media, Ocassions, Visible Image

Hello friends!  Hope you’re doing well and have had a great start to September!  It’s hard to believe we’re almost into Autumn already!  I’ve been enjoying the outdoors for as long as I can and Autumn around my area is so pretty, so I need to go out in it!  Crafting will be waiting for me soon!

Today starts a new challenge for Sparkles Monthly with the theme of: Alice in Wonderland!  So I hope that you will stop by the blog to check out the inspiration and join us this month!  Here’s what I’ve come up with:

This was really fun to put together!  I have always loved the Alice in Wonderland stuff and I actually have quite a bit of it for crafting, but this stamp set by Visible Image was new to me and something that I had gotten from a win for a challenge I entered a few months back.  I also used the Supernova Stencil for the background from the same company.

For the background:  I ink blended several colored and then spritzed with water for the watermark effect.  I went over it with the stencil in a darker blue ink and spritzed it again.  I then added some gold and white ink splatters over top for more texture.  It was cut out with the wonky stitch rectangle die and layered over mirror gold cardstock.

I had some Alice in Wonderland papers and used s strip of the blue checks to cut out a wavy border and attached it to the bottom of the stenciled panel.  I added these layers to an A2 top folding blue card base.  I had some old-fashioned looking stamps which I had for years and stamped a few on the background in blue ink.

I colored “Alice” with Copic markers along with the piece of cake and key and then used the coordinating die to cut them out and attach to the card front.  I added some pink glitter to Alice’s drink in her hand and the filling in the cake.  I also added some gold sequins over the card.  The sentiment was cut out with a banner die which I thought would make for a fun birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card and I hope you’ve got some inspiration with it!  (I’m a bit behind with so many things, so I will be checking out to see what you’re up to!)

  13. What a great sparkly page – and love the coloring on Alice. I have never been an Alice in wonderland but this is really pretty. Love how you did the background – stencil and spritz – I just forget to stencil – although I have “several”. Great job. Have a great week.

  15. What a fun card! You are so good with different styles, mediums, etc. I’m sorta stuck in my wee rut, but sure love checking up on you to see what magic you’re creating! I’ve been AWOL again, I know. My IPad has 3 or 4 blogs it refuses to let me comment from, and it’s making me crazy! Leaving town again for a few weeks on Tuesday, but I’ll be watching you!!!!
