The Grumpy Queen...

I'm part of the Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook group and this card was made for Part two of the monthly challenge.  It's great fun to join in.  In part one you use a current Sweet Pea stamp which means that you receive a digital stamp (FREE - don't you just love that word?) to use in part two of the challenge.

The digital stamp given this month was this amazing design by Sandra Caldwell depiciting the Queen from Alice in Wonderland.  Cool eh?  Not my usual kind of stamp but oh my I did enjoy challenging myself to be creative with her.

To begin with I created the background using a digi kit in Craft Artist.  I love the way you can plan out the design especially when using digi stamps as you can place the digi onto the design to get the correct size of image too.

I printed the image on to glossy photo paper and then printed the image on smooth white card and coloured it with my Promarkers.  Then it was mat and layered on to the card.

The sentiment is one of the quotes from Alice in Wonderland - not one of the most well known ones though.  I thought it went well with the expression on the Queen's face.  The inside of my card finishes the quote off and turns it into a birthday sentiment.

I hope you like my card as much as I enjoyed making it.  I would love to hear your comments if you have time or just tick one of the boxes - that would be cool too.
