Shrinking Alice in Wonderland and my 1,000th blog post

Good morning today there is a real celebration going here....this is my 1.000th blog post ..wow! That is an awful lot of creating and writing since I started my blog 8 years ago.
 It's also time for Monday Design team inspiration for Visible Image and I am here with my 2nd Wonderland sample. This new release is going down a storm and today I am going to share my first make with the lovely Alice. 

After making my shrink plastic seahorse and jelly fish for my seagoddess wall hanging which I shared here I had a light bulb moment that Alice in Wonderland also shrunk when she drinks from the bottle to get small enough to get through the door to the garden. Out came my shrink plastic but this time I decided that I wanted to colour the image so I did this using pencil before heating it.

 Here she is cut out

 and then after shrinking

 I made a couple of shrunk Alice's and this shows her full size and with her shrunken self!

 They are such fun accents to make. 

I also made a background using the brilliant distorted chess stencil as this works so well with the Wonderland stamps.

I went with a black and white version using black soot distress oxide ink.

I coloured my Alice and a slice of cake with Promarkers. I stamped and fussy cut out the key and the potion bottle and added some glitter. I also stamped out her words.

Here is my finished card

with a couple of close ups trying to show some of the glittery finishing touches I added. You can see this more clearly, and all my Wonderland samples in the recent Visible Image video over on their Facebook page here.

 I mounted everything onto foam tape which gives this card a lot of depth.

The wonderful Wonderland release, including 2 fab new stencils, is available to pre order now from the web site here. Shipping is from 1st August.
