Still so chuffed to have been asked to be part of this fab dt...
this fortnight the challenge is one well out of my comfort zone..and so it was a real challenge...all the details of the recipe can be found here.
you need Alice, the white rabbit and a situation...

Make sure you pop across to see all the dts fab makes here and
maybe join in the fun and spread the word!
there is now a chance to be a dragon dreamboat and be picked to feature
in a top three dreamboats each fortnight....
So here is my tag: ( which had to include Alice, the white rabbit and a situation)
I had to acquire some Alice stamps , as mine had gone the way of eBay
for different stash...so I better keep this set safe!
these are from artstic outpost , called wonderland collage

I started by making the background, using a take on Tim Holtz rusted enamel.
.a technique I love ...but with twist..
and the embossing powder was a special make your own blend!
i love the way you can emboss patches and ink through....which I did with black soot DI.
the stars and butterfly wings were embossed
using own the same homemade concoction
...and I filled the little bottle with it...
The images were lightly coloured
and I added some picket fence marker to Mr rabbit....
The little tag for the bottle was cut using a Tim sizzix die....
tiny tabs and tags
and the sentiment is an all time favourite from Wendy vecchi.... its face art.

This was a real adventure,

Definitely a happy ending here Trace, this is an amazing tag, made all the better by your own concoction (you will have to market it - lol) because it is a gorgeous colour. Love those stamps too, Alice seem very popular at the moment so you will surely get more use out of them. A x
