Good morning,
How are we all today??
Did you know that on July the 4th it is 150 years
since Alice in Wonderland was published!
Ok, how many of you knew that?
The DT have been asked to feature
Alice in Wonderland in their projects this week.
Today it is Neil's turn,
let's see what he has been up to

I'm going in search of adventure......through the looking glass
and into the Kingdom of hearts.......
Inspired by Alice's adventures through the looking glass I had
Inspired by Alice's adventures through the looking glass I had
fun making my mirror "gateway to Wonderland" adventures
on this journal page.
I started by adding a couple of card elements from the Tando
Top Hat kit and some nailhead stickers to the Tando frame
Then everything was painted gold with DecoArt Media Gold paint.
Once it had been given a coat of gold I mixed some Transparent
Red Iron Oxide Fluid Acrylic to the gold and mixed it with
some water. This was painted loosely over the frame and
then dabbed off to give a more mottled finish.
A piece of thin card cut to size creates the mirror.
To create the faded figure stamp or draw a suitable shape onto
the card in black. Paint the whole piece with the Media Silver
Metallic paint. Use a damp tissue or towel to scrub back the
area over the image. Repaint around the revealed shape to
bring back the solid silver colour around the image.
Paint a couple of hearts on both sides using Quinacridone Red
Fluid Acrylic
While wet dunk into a pile of Clear UTEE
Heat emboss using a pair of tweezers for safety.
Trim some slits into the "mirror" and slide the hearts in place
so they appear to disappear into the surface.....
Attach to a suitable journal page, add your writing to finish.
Thanks Neil,
Don't you love the mirror....got to try that!
This is what you'll need -
