Curiouser And Curiouser! Cried Alice

I've been playing with paint and having a whale of a time! Why does playing with paint make me so ridiculously happy? LOL!

Well here is the result of a recent playing with paint session - an Alice in Wonderland inspired altered book page that has been rattling around in my head for a couple of months or so now.

I thought that I would enter it into the Sir Stampalot April Challenge which is all about 'Fantasy' and get this - you can win a Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter! Oh Boy Oh Boy! Yes you heard me right - quick, you have until Midday 29th April to get you entries in!

The details (skip to the pictures if you aren't interested LOL!):

For my altered Alice page I've used a range of techniques and materials. The background is painted in acrylics on an old book page and layered up on painted calico. I've used salt to give that broken-up speckled look and then a Tim Holtz mask to give the negative image shadow.

I really should have taken pictures of each stage as I was going along, but I didn't think it would ever get to my blog, LOL!

I've used Viva Decor glitter gel to add some dimension. Then stamped Paper Artsy and Tuesday Technique stamps on the background for the clock and clock parts.

Alice is from the internet and I've lightly coloured her with pencils - I wanted a tinted look rather than coloured look.

The Cheshire Cat was hand drawn using the recent Tim Burton film for inspiration. The key is a Stamps Away stamp on paper and then glazed onto the page with tinted Mod Podge (my new best friend!).

Of course I had to use fabric, lace, buttons and stitching LOL! Coloured, where needed, with acrylic paint. You might also have noticed some {Ippity} Stamps as well - the Mushrooms :)

This was such fun to do! It might take a bit longer than you average card - even at the rate I make cards! Which is very slowly!

Well thanks for looking

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend
