We are celebrating Children’s Literature over at Artistic Outpost. I have a soft spot for Alice In Wonderland so I chose the Wonderland Collage plate to work with. I chose a pastel palette as it reminds me of a childs nursery. And isn’t he a cute bunny?
So, my background started out with some washi tape covered with a wash of gesso. I then white embossed a postmark background from the Ephemera Backgrounds plate. The image is colored using distress markers. I love the rose trim and the vintage lace. Perfect finishing touches.
Please hop along to all of our talented design team members to see their gorgeous projects:

A wonderful sense of nostalgia with the sun faded colours (it reminds me of book covers faded through time) and that addition of the lace is divine.
Adore this.

Oh, I absolutely adore this, Kate. Love what you have done with the wonderland plate – using the pastel palette was inspired and I especially like the white embossing in the background! Awesome take on the hop theme!

So well done and what a good choice – I am going on 100 and I remember this tale well. Only my version did not have Johnny Depp!
