Altered Alice: The Mad Hatter with Twinkles

http://alteredalice.blogspot.com/2011/10/chapter-8-celebrating-mad-hatter-with.html

Here's my entry for the challenge over at Altered Alice. The Mad Hatter with Twinkles.

I've only just bought some Alice stamps, don't know why it's taken so long, I've always loved the story, and remember watching it as a child, then with my own children.

My daughter bought a lot of Disney DVD's last Christmas (she's 27!) because she loved watching them with me, and one of them was Alice In Wonderland. So I thought I'd make her some Alice themed note books for Christmas, for her endless list making!

I didn't want the MH to have too much colour so I painted him in sepia tones, then gave him an orange hat, which has orange glitter for his 'twinkles'. I made the flower and butterflies to match the background paper, and added a playing card charm

Tag Tuesday School Related

This is my tag for the challenge on Tag Tuesday. School Related, I must admit I hated school! I've never liked to conform! I have a school related stamp set.......somewhere! Couldn't find it so used some images and sepia toned them for a more vintage look.

I tore the report card in two, which I always wanted to do with mine!

Fashionable Stamping Challenge- Vintage

This is for the challenge on Fashionable Stamping Challenges, Which is ' Vintage'

This is the front of a note book I'm making for my daughter, who LOVES lists!

The paper is Pixie Glen from Prima.

I made the paper rose in browns and blue tones, and inked the edges of the stamped image then tinted the image with blue and brown to give it a vintage look.

The clock stamp is from Kanban, which I glazed with Glossy Accents, and added a little glitter.

I've had this stamp (the girl) for along time, I think it's from Lost Coast Design.

The adage tag is Tim Holtz

GC12 Color Challenge. Turquoise, blue and purple

The challenge is to use turquoise, blue and purple, colours which I don't use a lot of. Though I still had a turquoise flower I'd made for another project!
