The prize? This gorgeous set of stamps!
How I would love to own these!
I made this card shaped like a mirror, and chose to illustrate Alice with her reflection. The frame was cut with my old Creative Memory Oval Cutter, and then embossed with my Cuttlebug folder simply labeled "Sentimental". Then, I lightly rubbed over the top with embossing ink. The raised areas picked up the ink so that my Stampendous "Aged Aqua" embossing powder would adhere and, when heated, accentuate the pattern. I like the way it turned out.
The mirrored image was stamped on the back side of the vellum to make it appear cloudy, along with the checkered floor. I then glued Blue and Silver Glass Glitters around the refelcted image to add mystery...
The original image was colored with gel pens due to the fact that the embossing powder would have damaged my Copics. But I like this look so that's fine.
I added the stop watch, a metal key charm, and a door lock charm all hanging from a
vintage clothing pear pin.

I like the way it has a very steampunk look to it, but still remains romantic.
A very cool birthday card, indeed!

Perhaps this would make up for being "very, very late"!
Happy stamping!

So neat!
What a very clever card! Love the glitter...beautiful!
Thanks so much for playing along with The Altered Alice! I love the way you used the vellum to make it easy to reverse the image. This makes me think of the way Alice passed through the looking glass for her second trip to Wonderland! Absolutely gorgeous!
As a side note, you CAN use Copics with clear embossing powder, it is just the pigmented powder that is incompatible. That tip almost made the cost of the certification class worthwhile! So if you stamp with the color and emboss with clear, you are good to go! I like to use dye ink, so I just ink up my stamp first with Versamark, then with the dye ink, then stamp. This lets you emboss with all your ink colors and color in with Copics!
Jan, this is STAMPENDOUS!!! What a fantastic project! Of course you don't need to win the stamp set, LOL...but I bet we could find something you need. What a wonderful card! Thanks for playing with the challenge!
