Chunky ATC-Alice in Wonderland

I've just taken part in a chunky ATC swap over on UKScrappers. The swap was inspired by an article on a chunky ATC in Craft Stamper magazine. This was such fun! I was given the theme of Alice in Wonderland which stumped me for a while as I don't have a lot of stamps and despite trawling the local shops couldn't find many embellishments. So I've made do with what little I could find and am actually quite happy with how it turned out.

Front


I used text from the book as background and stamped the White Rabbit image. The clock's stamped onto thick card and covered with crackle paint. 

Back


I was pleased with this image because I have trouble getting Cheshire Cat to show up usually and this time he made himself visible!

Side


I added a party chair to the top above Mad Hatter.

Side


You can't really see the March Hare and Dormouse but they're there!


Top


There's a gold tea service and a red heart. The glass bottles are Drink Me Eat Me.


Bottom


I used two of the red hearts as feet.

I hope the recipient likes it. I really enjoyed doing this and will definitely be doing more- if I can find somewhere to buy the chunks of wood!
