Stampotique Originals Sponsored Oh, Alice! Challenge


This week Stampotique Originals is sponsoring a challenge over at Oh, Alice! If you have not participated in their challenges before, now is the time to jump in! Stampotique Originals was generous enough to donate at $15 gift certificate to their store to the winner of the week.

CHAPTER 8: You can learn a lot of things from the FLOWERS...

`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.'
Hello everyone! What a sweet, sunny sign of Spring it is when all of our floral friends come out to play! Here at the Oh, Alice! Blog, we definitely agree with Alice that you can learn a lot of things from the flowers! This week's challenge? You got it! USE FLOWERS on your card or project!


Some of our design team participated in the Oh, Alice! challenge this week and this is what they came up with-make sure to leave them some love on their blogs which can be found by clicking on their pictures.

FleurFly

I received some new stamps from Stampotique this week and couldn't way to play with them!!!  This is a cute stamp from Janet Klein called Fleurfly.  This would make a great baby card as well for a little girl.

On the background I used the Honeycomb background stamp.

Pour Moi?


Here are a couple of party/celebration themed ideas using Stampotique Originals stamps.

The first is using another of the fun designs by Kelle McCarter, this time Cone Hat ( looking rather demure in a snazzy little green number) along side a present from the 5 sided Christmas cube and In Stitches.

The second card, Party On, shows Carrot and Angel off to a fancy dress party.



For more details please visit my blog.

Thankyou Jo CS x

Thinkin'



What a difference a pair of wings and a set of pointy ears make to the look of someone don't you think? With out them Leopard Queen #6107 reminds me of a scruffy Posh Spice and puts across a totally different character than the one with wings.

Very simply constructed by matt and layering various striped and patterned papers and coloured tag. The "Thinkin'" word was printed from the PC.

Thanks for stopping by...Jo Capper-Sandon

Sadly, I had to create several sympathy cards today..... They're not my favourite cards to creat at all, as I prefer cards for happy occasions. My rule of thumb is to keep these cards simple.




I could have made all the cards the same, but I decided to change them up a little.............


using the same colour scheme, I just altered the composition.






I love this Stamp........Hopi Prayer is available here

A bow in the dress


This lady´s name i "Moth Fab", and I have tied a bow in her dress.

KARIN PRETENDS TO BE ALICE!



Ok call me nuts if you like, I won't be offended, it happens too often for that, but I was working on another Alice in Wonderland piece and it occured to me that one of the Stampotique girls might well like to pretend to be Alice. After all they have their own cat, and as I live in Cheshire then it is a Cheshire Cat!!

So here we have KARIN #6108 pretending to be Alice with her best smile! She is accompanied by her KITTY #6096 and looked over by ROW of FACES #6020.
The quote is cut from a postcard.
