Time to "Par-Tea" with a New Challenge at Get Creative

It's time for a new challenge at Get Creative!!! This is a Challenge Blog with this week's challenge theme - stitching whether faux or real with the fabulous sponsor Star Stampz

You all know how much I love love love Alice in Wonderland; well, previously Star Stampz had an image Chibi Mad Hatter in her store which I had in my possession. I think that the Mad Hatter is a bit flamboyant in my opinion and thus my card:


RECIPE and SUPPLIES:
  • size A2 card using DCWV The Spooky Stack for the background - thought the harlequin was purrfect for the Mad Hatter
  • Mad Hatter is colored with Copic , Whisper Strokes Markers and gel pen accents 
  • faux stitching is around the sentiment, Mad Hatter's jacket and hat
  • background is chalked around the edges
  • sentiment, "It's your birthday! time to par-tea" had been a previous freebie at Create with TLC which is chalked around the edges
  • sentiment, "I am wishing a Happy Birthday to a person I am Happy to know", had been a previous freebie from Create with TLC with both the harlequin scrap along with purple Recollection cardstock which I also played with the faux stitching and chalked around the edges of the sentiment

I thank you for stopping by and visiting today. Don't forget to showcase your project on Get Creative Challenges and enter in the Challenge!!!!! I can't wait to see your creations!
