Steampunk Alice Halloween Card for Frilly and Funky Vintage Halloween Challenge
Hello, Friends! What happens when you combine Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland with a little steampunk vibe? You get a super fun Steampunk Alice Card which is just the ticket for the new challenge over at the Frilly and Funkie Blog. Zoe is our hostess this round, and the theme is Vintage Halloween. Here are Zoe’s guidelines for the challenge:
With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to get your witches hats on and create a project of your choice in a vintage style with a Halloween theme.
Steampunk Alice!
How fun is this? The size of this card is huge because I fussy cut the focal image from the 12×12 Deluxe Collector’s Edition. Standing 8.25″ tall, it has a cutaway front and is loaded with steampunk goodness.
Petaloo flowers were dressed up with ribbon, paper shavings, chipboard tags and a Tim Holtz Plaquette.
These wonderful Steampunk Gadgets are from The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Aren’t they awesome? I tapped them with Shaded Lilac and Shabby Shutters Distress Paint then added that fun spider web and skull charm, also from the shop.
Steampunk Alice is standing in the pumpkin patch along with the Cheshire Cat. I used my spatter brush and some diluted white acrylic paint to add a little more texture to the composition.
A Halloween sky was created by adding stenciled stars and a little mica spray. This added lots of depth to the image.
Pockets of goodness line the inside of the card. I mean, really, it’s Halloween so you have to have some treats, right?
Ephemera cards, chocolate, and a tea bag are tucked into a pocket made from a journaling tag. Small photos can be added to the back of each card.
Photo mounts fill the right hand pocket. Each one contains opens to reveal room for 2 large photos inside, and one on the back. Even though this is a card, it could easily serve as Halloween decor and a place to save photos from Halloween parties.
Come Play with Us!
Now it’s YOUR turn! Create your own vintage Halloween treat and link it up over at the Frilly and Funkie Challenge blog before midnight, November 1st.
The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
I can’t wait to see what you make!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy
