Alice Rocks!

We took our kids to go see the new Alice in Wonderland movie last weekend. Wow, did I get a ton of inspiration from the scenery/sets in that movie!!! I wanted to get my notebook out and start jotting down ideas but it was supposed to be a family day so I tried to control myself! I'll have to see the movie again WITH my notebook! While all those Alice inspired ideas were floating around in my head, I found THIS Alice challenge blog. I used this week's sketch to get me started on this card.

Here's how I made this card:

• SKY - Masked off ground with sticky notes and brayered Baja Breeze from top down (you can always sponge where I have brayered if you are not comfortable with the brayer). Then brayered Not Quite Navy from the sticky note up into the Baja Breeze. Next brayered a bit of Night of Navy from the sticky notes up. Remove the sticky notes and turn them around so they cover up the sky.


• GROUND - I put a post it note in the center of the sky and sketched in the little path. I cut that out and left the center portion of the path in place as a mask. I brayered Always artichoke from the outsides in on each side. Next I brayered Night of Navy from the outsides in but left some of the green showing. Removed the mask on the path.


• PATH - I used the outside pieces of the path to mask off the ground. I sponged Going Grey all over the path. I sponged just a bit of Basic Grey from the edges inward.


• MAKING IT FIT THE SKETCH - Before I go and cut this piece up, wanna see what it looks like at this point? Thought so. Here ya go:

Yes, I know there is a big blotch right in the middle. Don't worry about it! I'll be covering it up with the images later. So the next thing I did was cut that center circle out with my Nestie and inserted the grey curvy Nestie Frame.

• IMAGES - All colored with Copics, cut out, and adhered into place.
