A Different Alice



 It is fun to be challenged - it is years since I followed a sketch but the current Paperbabe Challenge is a sketch!!
 I love all thing Alice so after thinking and playing with ideas I came up with this journal page - inspired in kind by a trip a couple of of years ago Alice Underground - which was a truly memorable day!!

The theatre company have twists in the tale and I decided to have the same in my page.

I used a page from an old book - the Dodo Race, mounted on a used brown envelope (recyling)

The lady image and background are digital - the image I  coloured with copics love the quote and I think it is very apt for all of Alice!!The background I altered with acrylic paints / glaze / splatters.
 The entwined circles / bubbles are a sizzix die cut - I used them to also highlight some of the book text.
Had a lot of fun making my page and enjoying the processes

Have a lovely week everyone

OOPS  It has been a while since I blogged still creating just haven't posted for a long time !!

Once again I joined Wunderlust - although I may not attempt all the lessons I love seeing all the processes and love belonging to the FB group.

Under the paint is a whole page of journaling - it's great to reflect write and then cover - very cethartic !
