Busy... Busy Evening

My Muse decided to dust herself off and make an appearance tonight...
I missed her. :O)
Now that the trial is over I can feel some of the tension loosening.
(For those that have been following, see previous post for the final deets.)
I didn't even realize that Saturday past and Sunday started... lol.


4x4 Friday: Compass Rose

This week's 4x4 Friday challenge is to incorporate a compass rose into your design. Enjoy!

Went a wee bit Steampunk-y, blame it on FINALLY getting some cog & gears stamps.


Kard Krazy

Tag Tuesday Challenge #60 -- Faces

Feel free to interpret this however you'd like and use whatever medium you'd like.

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland!
The idea has been simmering in my head to replicated the Talking Flower Garden
and this was the poi-fect time.
Clip-Art Freebie sheet put to good use and many, many paper flowers.


Lots To Do

Week 29 - Shapes

This week we are looking at "Shapes" - interpret it anyway you like a shaped card, shapes on your work - whatever so long as you follow the theme.

Template came from Mirkwood.

Black & White 'Victoriana' clip-art sheet snipped and pasted on,
then sprayed with Glimmer Mist.
I wanted to get a fuzzing on the images so I went heavy.
Edged out in bark brown ink.

Oh, Alice

CHAPTER 23: Ravens and Writing Desks...

The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" "Come, we shall have some fun now!" thought Alice. "I'm glad they've begun asking riddles. — I believe I can guess that," she added aloud. "Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?" said the March Hare. "Exactly so," said Alice. "Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare wen t on. "I do," Alice hastily replied; "at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know." This week, we challenge you to use BIRDS on your card or papercrafting project! We may never know the answer to the riddle above, but while we're pondering that and life's little mysteries we may as well make a great card or two in the process, right?

Postcard Art...
Background is blue Glimmer Misted dove Mask.
Spritz of black under the cut out Crow clip-art.
Fancy Pants stamping over the quote:
Censure acquits the raven, but pursues the dove.

LOVE everything, I'll say your muse did not just reappear but GATE CRASHED, LOL! Queen Vic was made for steampunk, don't you think? The live flowers are brilliant, wonderful interpretation of the story. The raven and dove quote is wonderful. Love the soft screened dove vs. the harsh crow photo, it is a really wonderful piece! Thanks so much for playing along with Oh, Alice, I was really inspired by your post!
