I read the real Alice in Wonderland to my oldest son for a bedtime story not too long ago. He was fascinated. I was fascinated. The story truly is amazing and full of eccentricities and characterization. The fabulous challenge image at Off the Wall Craftiness eluded to the Wonderland Tea Party and I pulled out the butterflies, bold colors and patterns with a clean and simple interpretation. I kissed the cute butterfly image onto some different patterned stamps to create texture and then randomly stamped the outline butterfly over the mask for a background. (Wplus9 has a great tutorial on masking here, a great technique for clean and simple designs.)

ReplyDeleteI love Alice in Wonderland! I did a swap based on the book and had to read the book all over again to get ideas...it was fascinating indeed! :)
Great card! I am so glad you are playing along, I think a lot of people are having a hard time with this challenge :) I also love that you used Dawns masking, wasnt that a great tut, it is so simple but sometimes you just dont think about using the things you have around the house for cards!
