Alice Playing Croquet in Wonderland

This post will be the first in a series using Alice in Wonderland stamps.  Blank Page Muse has two amazing plates of Alice in Wonderland stamps. Today I am sharing Alice Playing Croquet!  Who ever thought of using a Flamingo as a mallet and a hedgehog as a ball!  The imagination of Lewis Carrol is amazing!!  

To make this tag I used the following stamps from Blank Page Muse:
Alice in Wonderland Characters Set 1 Art Rubber Stamps SC50
Butterflies and Flowers Layering Mixed Media Stencil BPMSTbflower
Butterfly Trails Circles patterns Mixed Media Stencil BPMSTtrails


Other Supplies:
Tag
Text from an old Alice in Wonderland novel
TH Distress Oxide Inks: Brushed Corduroy, Lumberjack Plaid, Squeezed Lemonade
VersaFine Black ink
Clear embossing Powder
Green Shimmer Spray
Studio Light Watercolor markers
Epoxy dots
Stapler
Fibers/Ribbons

 

• Adhere text to tag. I choose a page that referenced the stamp image (optional)
• Ink edges of the tag with TH Gathered Twigs
• With stencil Butterflies and Flowers Layering Mixed Media Stencil BPMSTbflower apply TH Squeezed Lemonade ink to tag
• With stencil Butterfly Trails Circles patterns Mixed Media Stencil BPMSTtrails apply TH Lumberjack Plaid
  
• Lightly spray the tag with Green Shimmer Spray

• Stamp Alice image with VersaFine black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 
• Color the image with markers.  I choose to keep the colors light to give the image a vintage look.
• Fussy cut the image of Alice.
• Staple net fiber to the lower part of the tag as pictured.
• Adhere Alice directly to the tag.
• Add epoxy dots to the lower right.
• Attach ribbons to the tag.
