`Never mind!' Alice said in a soothing tone, and stooping down to the daisies, who were just beginning again, she whispered, `If you don't hold your tongues, I'll pick you!' There was silence in a moment, and several of the pink daisies turned white. `That's right!' said the Tiger-lily. `The daisies are worst of all. When one speaks, they all begin together, and it's enough to make one wither to hear the way they go on!' `How is it you can all talk so nicely?' Alice said, hoping to get it into a better temper by a compliment. `I've been in many gardens before, but none of the flowers could talk.'

For my card, I wanted something that would (hopefully) draw you in, just as Alice was drawn down the Rabbit Hole into Wonderland. ;) I chose this pattern paper because it is so rich in color and detail, but also has great depth - just as I imagine the Queen's garden. The stamp I used has been in my stash awhile, just waiting for the right card. I just love her flower rimmed eyes! I decided to make my "flower girl" a brunette because I learned recently that the real Alice wasn't the fair-haired girl we usually envision. And besides, brown is beautiful! (No bias there - LOL!)
We have ANOTHER generous prize to give away this week donated by STAMPOTIQUE!
ONE RANDOM WINNER will be chosen to WIN a $15 GC to the STAMPOTIQUE store, where you'll find some of the most fun & funky stamps (including a great goth line designed by Daniel Torrente & Jill Penney) and supplies!

This is very cute! I love her eyes and the way you used the same shaped punch to make the flower. That's just fantastic!! (I wish I could get my students to echo shapes like that in their work, lol.)
Definitely draws you in! The flower eyes are engaging and I love how you repeated similar shapes with your matting. Really cool card!!
