A Grin Without a Cat

I’m showing the gorgeous Clever Little Alice image from Simply B Stamps’ Alice in Wonderland Steampunk Style collection today.

Now don’t let an image like this intimidate you, there are lots of elements to it but it makes for a fantastic finished product when coloured.  The trick is just to take it in sections and take your time.  Mine is printed at only 4” and I was colouring it on the train home so you see it really isn’t so scary colouring an image like this.

What is scary is making a centre step card with extra-large embellies and then finding the thing won’t actually bend where it’s supposed to any more.  So there was a bit of extra cutting and extending happening on this one to get it to work but I definitely think it was worth the effort.  Although perhaps with all this inside it might have been better going with an easel card.

 
 

With all my die cuts I am entering this in the current challenge at Addicted to Stamps, I certainly give my Stately Circle dies a workout and I think the Pocket Watch might become a favourite.  I’m also linking it up at the anything goes challenges at Challenges 4 Everybody and Scribble & Scrap.
