Alice in Wonderland

This card qualifies for two blog challenges this week

1. Crafty Ann's Challenge, the challenge is to use
up to 3 colours, 3 flowers, 1 ribbon and a digital image.

2. Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Alice in Wonderland

The digital image of the white rabbit is from the public domain, enlarged,sealed and given a good coating of matt gel.

The blue background was made using acrylic paints, white undercoat then pva glue and top coat of pale blue. As the top coat dries quicker than the pva glue it causes distress marks and cracks in the surface. The image was applied with more matt gel and a ribbon added.

The base card is graphite grey and the three flowers were made with a punch and sequins.

Thanks for dropping by and please leave a comment as they are all appreciated.
