SpringPunk

The referral challenge over at Artistic Outpost this month is Spring Punk.  I created a fun tag for the challenge which also works perfectly for the Simon Says Stamp and Show Ideology Bonanza.

It was a creative thought process to how do you bring spring and steampunk together. :)  My thought process was and Easter full of metal and light colors. I was pleased with how the two blended together.

I used the stamps from Artistic Outpost Wonderland Collage, Industrial Chic, and Whimsical Melange.  The background was painted with acrylic paint and glimmer misted with purple and pink. Then a layer of gears were stamped in pink/gold and white embossing powder.

The bunny was stamped and colored and cut out.  I framed him with the house outline. The flowers were from a pair of earrings in the clearance section of the jewelry store.

So glad it is Thursday!  Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Alice & The Rabbit

The Altered Alice challenge this month is to create something that is predominantly blue and yellow, the colors associated with Alice and is sponsored by Artistic Outpost.

I was lucky enough to have the lovely Artistic Outpost Wonderland Collage plate and used it to create a collage of the mad hatter, Alice and time. 

 

The background is a combination of the ledger from the Ephemeral Backgrounds plate and stamping of the words from the Wonderland Collage with a mix of distressing using blue dye ink sponged  and white acrylic paint.

The images and words were stamped using the Versafine blue pigment ink. The yellow was added with a touch of the watercolor pencils.

 

If you use Artistic Outpost's Wonderland Collage in your project, you will receive two chances at the drawing instead of one!  The challenge ends  Friday, April 22 at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -4:00) and the winner will be posted sometime on Sunday, April 24 on the Altered Alice blog. 

Thanks for dropping by!
