Hello
friends! Linsey here again with my third guest designer project. Today's theme
is one of my all-time favorites, Alice In Wonderland! GSLC carries
some really fun "Alice" themed chipboard and I had a fabulous
time creating with them. Now, it's time to follow the white rabbit, go through
the keyhole and let your curiosity take you away into a magical wonderland
where imagination is the limit! Don't be late!
I
started with the House Shadow Box, first putting it together with a
good wood glue, then painting all the edges in white chalky paint. Next I
started "wallpapering" each room with different patterned papers in
hot pink, black and white with pops of gold. Then I took several pieces from Alice In Wonderland Chipboard Silhouettes and Alice String Alongs, heat embossing each
piece. Now, time for really fun part--decorating the rooms! Some of the
silhouettes were positioned flat against the wall and some were propped forward
for a 3D effect. Here's a close-up peek into each room.
The flower garden in Alice's dream...I painted the Art Deco Border & Corners chipboard black, then embossed them in clear, creating this cool shine on the garden "gate".

The
white rabbit always carries his pocket watch on his ventures out, yet he's
still running late! This little piece reads "follow after your
bliss". Always a good reminder.
Do
you remember the scene in the Disney movie where Alice has an encounter with a
most talkative doorknob and end up going through the keyhole where she travels
along the sea in a bottle? I chose a few pieces from the Keys & Plates Shape Set to create this little
room.
Another
of Alice's adventures I remember fondly was when she followed the white rabbit
to his home and after eating a treat, grew so big, her arms and legs popped
through the windows and her head came out the roof, causing much stress on poor
white rabbit. Oh, dear Alice...curiosity always was your weakness.
Of
course, I had to include the infamous Mad Hatter's Tea Party scene and it was
super easy with a few chippies from the Alice In Wonderland Chipboard Silhouettes. And a
very merry un-birthday to you!
The
caterpillar that Alice crosses paths with is another favorites scene. Here he
is, doing what he does best. A, E, I, O......
When
Alice finally meets the Queen of Hearts, it's not exactly a sweet encounter.
"Off with her head" doesn't leave a good first impression, am I
right?
For
the top room, I created a big clock using the Wood Medallions 1 and the Steampunk Shape Set. The Wooden Charm-Dream was also added and a couple more
Alice themed chippies. The roof was designed using the 12x12 Texture Sheet-Diamonds. I cut in down to size
and painted it black, then embossed in clear for the shine. It matches the
garden gate and deco corners on the house.
And that completes our Adventure through wonderland! Thanks
so much for stopping by and letting me share my project! I hope you are
inspired to create your own magic today!
