Once again we have a Smeared and Smudged Monthly Member Blog Hop!
Do hop by, have fun and have a look at the amazing creations!!

You shoulad have arrived here from Maureen and your next step is Lisa
but if you need to start at the beginning please go back to Black Dragon

So today's theme is


I have had some Alice papers on my computer for years from Crafts-U-Print - I decided to use these to mat two sides of a 6 by 6 chipboard...This is the first side - steampunky hearts.


I often make ATCs but have never done APCs before - Altered Playing cards - but I thought Alice leant itself to this...

Using Alice digis from the Octopode Factory, coloured with Promarkers I made the following:






I then added these to my base with a quote, some cogs and a key...

"I can't go back to yesterday Because I was a different person then"


The reverse side started like this -  a layer of blue then the DP...



But now some exciting days - I have just been invited to join  the new Rosey Hearts DT
where the first challenge has just begun

I decided to use Rosey Hearts Always Alice digi on here, again coloured with Promarkers and with another quote.




Finally a few extras to finish it off...




Enjoy the hop!

Happy Crafting!

    Love both these projects Susan, but as a big Octopode fan, I must say the first is my favourite. The characters are so quirky - I love the rabbit with the watch in his head...thanks for sharing such original projects xx

    Wonderful page! I love the way you've used the playing cards, and of course I really love these Octopode Alice digis (they're the same ones I used today!)--so cool to see the way you've colored them! The reverse side is great too--love that quote.
