Altered Alice Challenge - Splendidly Dressed

This month Stampendous is sponsoring the wonderful Altered Alice Challenge.  For all the details hop on over to the Altered Alice Blog.  The inspirational quote:

"After a time she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and she hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming. It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great hurry, muttering to himself as he came, `Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!'"-- Chapter 2; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland


My project:

I had picked up this little crown awhile ago and it was a great deal.  I was saving the crown for a special project and this was the perfect challenge.  The images are all from the Stampendous Wonderland set.

I stamped the cards and hearts using the Crimson red from Ranger Archival Inks.  I accented the crown with some bits and pieces of trim gems, and lace.  

Alice was stamped in black and colored with watercolor.  I created the base from acetate supports attached to the bottom of the crown and added Websters Pages Lace Panel in the bottom to cover my base and give a softness to the crown.

I love that I was able to use those playing cards. I can't tell you how many half decks we had in our card selection.  I went through and took any deck that was missing more than a few cards and put them in my alterable stash. :)

Hope your Sunday is blessed!
