Hi Everyone! Happy Thursday!!! Well, it will be a happy Thursday as soon as I get my computer back. I got that nasty facebook virus last week, and my computer is finally ready. YAY!!!! Could you hear me shouting for joy? Fortunately, I have a netbook, so I am able to do a post for you this morning.
This Alice in Wonderland card is a white card stock gate fold base. I adhered two pieces of DCWV paper on the front as well as 6 sticky rhinestones in the corners. I cut out the blue (DCWV) flower shape with my nesties and then cut the Alice stamp out with a smaller flower. I blended Tea Rose Distress Ink around the stamp, colored it in and added Stickles to the edges so it would blend with the sparkly papers. You can get this stamp and many more at Lindsay's Mygrafico shop. Check out her blog - Thefrugalcrafter's Weblog for her freebie this week, see what fabulous projects she has created for you to drool over and a list of links to her fabulous design team member's blogs. Wow! It's good to be back! Have a great week, and Happy Digi Stamping!!!

Alice in Wonderland

Happy Thursday! This week I decided to create a couple of cards using the ALICE IN WONDERLAND and the SHABBY HOUNDS TOOTH and UPTOWN HOUNDS TOOTH sets from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF. After watching the new Alice in Wonderland movie a couple of weeks ago, I started thinking about Alice projects I could make. I am still mulling a few over in my brain, but recently I was inspired by Vanessa Spencer to make these cards. I started by cropping my image and a section of the hounds tooth paper from the sheets and adjusting them to size I wanted, using PhotoShop Elements. It is important to crop the digi paper, because if you just shrink it, you will lose the pattern in the paper. I coordinated the color of the hounds tooth with the colors I knew I would be using on my images. I colored only a small section of the images for a minimalist look. Next, I splashed a small amount of coordinating paint under the image. Once it dried, I stamped the sentiments (inkadinkado) on the paint. I added stamped corners (Heidi Grace) and on the White Rabbit card, I stamped the pocket watch (Hero Arts) and colored it. I added just a couple of simple embellishments and a few punched hearts. I inked the edges of each piece with matching colors and adhered those to matching colored cardstock before attaching the whole thing to the white base. The finished cards are 5 1/2 x 6 1/2.
