Wonderland

Hello everyone,

For today's Creative Team post I have made a postcard.

This was so much fun to make ! 

I used a gelli printed background and added just one stamp at the bottom as 'ground' to put my scene one. I then added black lines and stitching around the edges of the card and wrapped some twine around it. 

Next I started on the chip boards. The stars were heat embossed with a light yellow embossing powder by Lindy's Stampgang. The stem of the flower was coloured with Copic Markers. The flower head was white embossed and then coloured over the top, partly with Copics partly with Faber Castell Big Brush Markers. The whole think was then clear embossed. 

The little rabbits were painted with gesso and then coloured with coloured pencils. Aren't they cute....

I arranged everything on the card until I was happy and then glued everything down. 

Lastly I stamped the word 'Wonderland' on a piece of paper and stapled it to the card.

That was it ! 

I used the following chipboards:

Hare

Daisy

Star Confetti

All stamps I used are by VivaLasVegaStamps!

Thank you so much for stopping by !

My Creation:

(is this photo blurry??)

Don't be afraid to cut out parts of stamps you like.. or to stamp them and then cut into the image --- I do love the lights that are originally strung on top of this "Have a Merry Christmas" but for this application I decided the image would be better with out them! Easy peasy.. just cut them away!

I have also managed to base my tags off of Linda (The Funky Junkie)'s 12 tags! So I will be linking up there each day :) Today's is linking to tag 4 -- I loved yesterday's background (as did all of you I noticed!) so much that I recreated it.. a little lighter and a bit more green..  I loved the animal Linda had, the cheesecloth AND the icesicles. 

Thanks for stopping by!! You're on your way to Susan's Blog next!!!
