Alice Trio

Hi and welcome!  It's time for another sketch from the team at Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is the lovely and talented Cecile.  Here is her fun, square sketch:



Yes, I said square!  I love square cards but rarely think to make them, so this was a perfect opportunity.  I'm also playing along in the current Inkspirational Challenge which has a very Alice in Wonderland type photo inspiration.  I immediately thought of my very old unmounted stamps from Non Sequitur and went to work to come up with this card.

I started by stamping each of the three images onto a scrap of X-Press It card then I created masks for each image and masked them.  I sponged on some Distress Oxide inks and then over-stamped with a text image from one of the stamp sets.  After removing the masks, I colored the images with Copics before die-cutting them with a rounded square die.

Each image was matted onto a black panel and then arranged onto a 5" square white card.  The rabbit is popped up on foam tape but the rest are adhered straight to the card base.  The sentiment is from a PTI set and I thought the "belated" part worked quite well with the Alice theme 😃

I have to admit to really liking this card.  And the distress oxide inks are fun to play with.

Thanks so much for visiting.  The rest of the design team have some fabulous cards so head on over and check them out.
