When I saw the theme of Mad Tea Party I was inspired by the T.V. show Once Upon a Time where the magical Mad Hatters hat is the portal between the worlds.
I started with a chipboard pilgrim hat which I painted white and black. I added a harlequin pattern on the top using a stencil and black acrylic paint.
I stamped the numbers randomly around the middle of the hat. I also added a smattering of red hearts.
I created a set of cards using various stamps and added a few feathers in the band.
A side view:
And around the back:
To finish it off I used a few ribbons around the band and edges. Now I have my own set of portal to escape through? :)

Love the Alice In Wonderland images that you've stamped and colored. Love the little feathers you've added to the hat band. So stinkin' cute! I am wishing you a happy and healthy new year my friend! <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteAnd 'Hats off to you' Sue, you do come up with some clever ideas. This one is great. I love how you tumbled all the numbers and hearts around the hat and then did the same with the Alice images.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first chance I've had to drop by over the holiday period but just had to come over and say Happy New Year Sue! I'd like to wish you lots of good health, happiness and love in abundance for the coming year and if a dollop of wealth arrives too that's all to the good, lol! Best wishes to you and your family Sue.
