Oh, Alice! Challenge #1 - Glam It Up!

(If you haven't yet, be sure to enter my blog candy here!)

So I finally got my entry made for the the very first ever Oh, Alice challenge. I have to say, again, that it's not my favorite. I had the image coloured (and I DO love it) however, once it was done, I had no idea what to do with it! All that shimmer you see isn't really that chunky and weird looking; it's Spica pen, so IRL its very subtle. Lots of shimmer & shine on this one... and if you're wondering how this is related at all to the inspiration piece, it's all about the caterpillar.


And yes, I know I already posted this as part of the Bombshell Hump Day Hop, but instead of overloading that post, I'm just reposting this here. It's glam, it's blue (Alice's dress is the inspiration there) and black (the makeup case is where that's from). And, it follows PaperWorks Co's Sunday Sketch #21. In case you didn't see/aren't planning on looking at the Hop post, the deets are:

silver tin, painted with acylic paint; Doodlebug Sugar Coating glitter sprinkled on when the paint was still wet; old BoBunny paper - I think I bought something like 20 sheets each of the pink, blue & green designs, because I love them so much (I will definitely cry when I run out); Bombshell's Mermaid Treasure set; and blue rhinestones.

Can't hardly wait for the next Alice challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Both cards are great. I love that Alice image. You did a great job coloring her. I can't freaking wait for that movie to come out!

    I also love your Mermaid card.

    When you figure out how to photograph glitter, let me know. OK?

  9. WOW! That Alice card is awesome, I love how it all sparkles, just stunning.

    Thank-you so much for your lovely comments on my blog. I do find the odd bit of time during the day, but I do most of my crafting after everyone has gone to bed. So I guess I have become a bit of a night owl!
