Olivia Notebook and an Altered Alice

Olivia, Carol's Flower and sentiment all by Stampotique

You may have seen this little notebook already on the Stampotique Designer's Blog here but I wanted to share it with you here too. I made it this week as I can never have enough notebooks - they are everywhere - in my kitchen , in my handbag, by my bed .... and they are full of lists and important stuff.

I had a lot of fun making this background with Dylusions ink sprays - I'm loving the new Rose Quartz pink :-)



I used distress inks to add extra detail inside the book:


While I was on I made a card for the Altered Alice challenge here, which is all about 'changing form' this month. I used Dylusions ink sprays again to create the background, and then added 'Karin' as Alice. I altered her head and put it one side as she has grown too tall to fit on the card, and I cut the legs off and drew some extra long legs!

Alice drinks some of this:


And her legs suddenly get longer as she grows taller:


And finally ... did you know?? Did you?? The new colours of Dylusions paints are now in stock and on-line. Woohoo! Haven't got any yet but I'm very much looking forward to it :-)

Right, real life calls .... a trip to the supermarket is in order..... byeeeeeeeeee

    I really like your altered Alice, she looks creepy, and that is how I've always thought of Alice in Wonderland-a rather weird creepy story.

    Thanks so much for participating in The Altered Alice challenge this month! Your tall Alice is absolutely fabulous! LOVE the brilliant colors and all the little details, right down to the Drink Me bottle in the corner. LOVE the way you cocked her head to keep it within the page, so fun!

    Wonderful creativity Kate, wish I had long legs like your Alice, they would make me tall and I'd be the right weight for my height :)
    Love the colours on your notebook too, can't wait to get the spray inks AND the new paints either!
