I can see clearly now...through the looking glass

This week the Daring Card Makers are daring you to make a card with a 'see through' element. I've always love the original Tenniel drawings of Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass and I go the 'Six impossible things before breakfast' stamped image in a swap, but have never found a way to incorporate it into a card. The little frame stamp is from the Wild Asparagus stamp set by My Mind's Eye, that I got as blog candy from Sue H and suddenly, just like the cheshire cat, there was my idea in front of me!

Alice is on the inside of the card looking through her acetate looking glass, there are some bits of 'Touch of Teal' paper by Papermania lurking around the card, but mostly I used the images from ..thorugh a looking glass found in a google image search.

Hope you want to play along, if so click here to visit the Daring Card Makers and don't forget to leave a comment with a link to your card.

  6. Fab use of the acetate! That stamp fetches silly prices these days, I believe - lucky you to get the image in a swap!
