The former challenge “Oh Alice” has moved to “The Altered Alice” and has been turned into a monthly challenge. To me that’s rather good news, for it means I’ll be able to participate more often! Chapter 1 focuses on transformations and/or dress forms. I finally managed to create a gothic arch that I’ve been wanting to create for months. It’s actually a spinner card (I found this Dutch tutorial very helpful) in the shape of a gothic arch:
Losing one’s head’s quite a drastic form of change/transformation, don’t you think?
The sun was masked and background sponged. The tree (Lavinia) and the cat (Cherry Pie) were coloured using distress inks and an aqua pen. The queen of hearts (Oxford Impressions) and Alice (a somewhat altered Stampotique stamp) were stamped on black paper, bleached and painted with Perfect Pearls.
I still have a couple of Inkurable Stampers 2010 gothic arches that I want to finish and so this is my interpretation of the theme “crowns“.
I also would like to enter this interactive arch to:

FANTASTIC! Thank so much for playing along with The Altered Alice! This is so, so clever. The fun touch of the macabre works perfectly with the quirky Stampotique image. Love love love the arch and the background scene!
well, if you have to change, might as well make it big>
love the action
