Mad March Hare in February!

It's been a while since I took part in the Something Completely Different challenges, but I couldn't resist this one. I've never really got into ATCs but as that is the format for this challenge that's what I have created. I particularly like the original Tenniel drawings for Alice in Wonderland, so it had to feature one of those.

Here is what the SCD team said about their challenge:

ATCs
(just in case peeps don't know, ATC's are pieces of art sized 2.5"x 3.5" they are never sold only traded!)

Most people love them, that is until they hear about my challenge subject this week......

Mad March Hare

The background was created with Ranger Distress Inks in Peeled Paint and Milled Lavender. Text stamp from Wild Asparagus Stamps by My Mind's Eye.
The lettering is stamped with Studio G Clear Stamps.

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.

Art Journal Card

This is one of my Art Journal cards based on the Emily Falconbridge idea of using a pack of cards and making a card every week for 52 weeks. The theme over on Bubbly Funk Forum this/last week was 'my parents'. I've always loved this photograph of my Mum and Dad dressed as the White Rabbit and the Mad March Hare from Alice in Wonderland. I think it kind of sums up them up, always involved in the community, for the local festival, plays and pantomimes. My Mum made the costumes and did the stage makeup at which she is proficient.

The images on the reverse are the original John Tenniel drawings from Alice in Wonderland. Mum had a book from her childhood of Alice and these were the drawings that I remember. I found these images HERE
