Alice Inspiration from Vicki Romaine of the DT

This is so pretty!  A new Alice card created by Vicki Romaine of The Cheerful Stamppad and the Lunagirl Design Team.

Using the three images in this way does add to the depth of the card, especially that particular image where it draws your eye down into the hidden doorway behind the curtain.

Here's what Vicki wrote:
I took three different colors and sizes of the same Lunagirl Alice image and put them together in various arrangements, but settled on this one.  Each is matted with a black piece of cardstock which gave the images depth.  Having so many layers on the card makes it very sturdy.


Check out my current blog challenge and link up your own Alice-themed creation! 


Below is yet another of Vicki's Alice creations.  Very creative!  Love the black diecut.

I treated  the Lunagirl image of Alice and the Dodo a little differently in this card.  I placed them in this lovely diecut by Cheery Lynn Designs.  I had to really shrink the Lunagirl image on this card to fit the diecut.   To carry out the colors in the designer paper, I used some twine and a flower enhanced with a flourish.

below are some beautiful creations by the Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team! 

 By Petra Berendsen, a little tag with Mr Rabbit.

Isn't he handsome in his robe with glittery heart? He certainly has to be the focal point of any project. I coloured Mr Rabbit (from Lunagirl Moonbeams Alice Collage Sheet) with colouring pencils and some Stickles for his hearts and combined him with patterend paper, a clock charm and some pearls.

By Vicki Romaine, a colorful collage card with an Alice page and book cover image:

The mat of my card is actually a page from an old paperback book of Alice in Wonderland.  I made some color blocking behind the  Lunagirl image with scraps of cardstock from my stash and finished off the card with parts of the Queen of Hearts playing card.

this week i chose to make a gothic arch with a collage of several images from the watercolor alice and alice book covers collage sheets.  love alice!

NEW! Victorian ABC Nursery Books on CD

Recently released: Lunagirl PictureBooks! This first collection contains 24 beautiful complete alphabet books from the mid to late 1800s. Alphabet picture books were among the favorites of the day, and these brightly colored and exquisitely illustrated ABC books make it easy to see why.

One of the most enduring traditions of books for children is the ABC book. Aside from nursery rhymes, no other genre was so extensively produced. The late 1800s produced scores of these books in English, and some of the best are presented in this collection of alphabet books. Most of this collection were first published in England, where these books were enjoyed by children and adults alike. Some include "early reader" lessons in addition to the alphabet. CLICK HERE TO SEE DETAILS & SAMPLES.

Browse the books page by page or scan through always visible scrolling thumbnail images. The focus is on the illustrations themselves, so that the reader can easily print out any and all of the pictures. You can of course print out the pages of text as well if you want to create facsimiles of the original books. More to come!
