OMG! Two in one day! I'd wait to post, but I'd be late for the very important date to post this week's Chapter 13 Mushroom Inspiration Challenge at Oh Alice! This fabulous stamp is ching-chou kuik's Cheshire Cat Illusion from Sweet Pea Stamps. Isn't the image just EXQUISITE? I (attempted) to color her using the inspiration illustration colors (below my card) and cut the image out with my Labels ? (well, they're around here somewhere) Nesties and backed it with the In Spades Pendant. The DP is Prima Nursery Rhymes and the card stock is Bazzill and Stampin'Up. Although the embossed strip looks almost identical to the D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder, it is actually the new Texture Fades Swirls folder by Tim Holtz. I wouldn't have bought this one, but I got them all in a bundle for a great price at Crop Stop so there you go.
I embellished using skeleton leaves I've had since dinosaurs roamed the earth and some peacock feathers. and adhesive gems. although I'm going to need LOTS more practice on these Sweet Pea Stamps images, I've recently purchased TONS of them and have more on the way. Love, love, LOVE them!

I think your colouring is lovely - and a hang of a lot better than mine! I'm working on it though. Love the frame and really love the feather to embellish.
ReplyDeleteI think your first commenter (the one with the unreadable name that posted BEFORE Kate) is a spammer with a nasty link embedded in there.
ReplyDeleteThat said, wonderful card! Go you, two cards in one day.
Love the beautiful colors in this card...and that image is awesome...I don't have any of these stamps..might just have to invest in some ;)

Oh, Donna! This is so cool! I love the colors and the ethereal quality of the sheer leaves.
ReplyDeleteROFL on the ? Labels! I took all of mine out of their original packaging, and haven't a clue what any of them are called anymore! Gotta label those puppies, I guess!
So glad you were able to play along with Alice this week!
Love it, so do you have tickets for Alice? Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love your cards, Donna. And, yes, that Sweet Pea stamp is exquisite for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou know, if you did anything wrong with your coloring, I don't see it. They look great, as usual!
Great card Donna...love this whole Alice theme. btw - preordered my copy of the DVD on Amazon this week, can't wait for it to arrive. Hugs...Kris
ReplyDeleteGirl, you're coloring looks FABULOUS! Love those pretty skeleton leaves. You always have the coolest embellies! And two in one day? What's next... a second blog? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis card is truly a big jolt of eye candy. I love those colors, and the whole image is fantastic. Coupled with your talent, of course. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteoh and I JUST finished the invites! woo hoo!
they both look to me like from a book...great job!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I just ordered some feathers myself. I got a couple in my monthly kit and decided I needed more. You did a great job. Love all those colors!
ReplyDeleteAlice is exquisite and I love the background paper and the peacock feathers!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card...Look at you...2 in one day! I don't know how you do it...you are totally amazing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! LOVE the feather! I am still trying to find the right papers to compliment my "Cheshire Illusion". I need to choose the papers before I color, but this one was so fun to just color for my sanity. Hope mine measures up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the Burtonesque Dolls Challenge btw.
Great card.
