Alice is late and so am I to Miss CarlaÂ’s terrific Tickle a Teapotter teaparty. I apologise for my tardiness and for making an almost identical card to SabrinaÂ’s wonderful patchwork tickle last December. Unfortunately time is not on my side this week, I hope it is ok to use this stash background and patchwork house.
When I made the card for Sabrina’s challenge, I made an A4 background and then cut it into panels. The first card was a 5 x 7”card, this one is 4.25 x 8”, there was a narrow strip left over so I added that to the inside of this card.
The background is RobinÂ’s great ironing spray technique with BrushoÂ’s. Distress inks have also been added here and there. The patchwork house is just a digi image printed onto photocopy paper, coloured with Priscmacolour pencils, alcohol markers and distress crayons.
Alice and her rabbit were fussy cut from a Graphic45 pad. I coloured the Alice image using distress crayons and pencils. The rabbit was already coloured. Looking at the photo, I forgot to cut the broom head properly, IÂ’ll have to fix that.
Thanks so much for looking. I hope you are having a happy, inky week.

Susie - you are so great at recreating stories. This is a great Alice in Wonderland card. Though I can't say that I like this story - it gave me nightmares along with the Wizard of Oz - but as you always say - I digress. I keep on going back looking at all the incredible details in the background and I love your little patchwork cottage. Just another perfect Susie creation.

So I didn't have time to comment properly on this previously and I came back to tell you how much I love this card. I am a huge Alice fan - I love the movie and I have this idea for a party one day using the movies/book as a theme. I am just waiting for the right moment. I even have a pinterest board all set up with tons of ideas. So anyway, your card captures the magic of Alice and has some awesome images and techniques. Wow. Hugz
