I must admit to being kind of crazy about anything Alice. One of the things that I loved was the idea of the fading Cheshire cat! I just got all my Wonderland stamps yesterday from Visible Image and just had to try to make a Cheshire cat in the process of disappearing.
I created a small rainbow watercolored panel using Prima The Classics watercolors. Then, I stamped the cat with Versafine ink and clear embossed it. I used clear water on a brush and tapped with paper towel to remove the color from inside the stamped image to get the faded cat.
The sentiment, from the same set, was stamped with Distress Oxides and then clear embossed as well. The background panel was also colored with the Distress Oxides and sprayed with a sparkle spray. I punched a hole in order to add a clear ribbon holding an Alice in Wonderland charm. The little Alice comes from Funny Sticker World. The shapes are die cut from Double Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frame from Poppy stamps. And, some Nuvo Crystal Drops added just a bit more interest.
This is the first entry to my new MemoryDex box that will be dedicated to all things Alice. You will see lots more as this box grow, I hope.
Thank you for stopping by. I do love reading your comments!
