Graphic45 Wonderland - Take 2

Here is another 5x5 card I made for CHA with the Graphic45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland line. You gotta love the Mad Hatter, right? I'm not a super fan of Alice and company, but do admit that I feel a kinship with the Hatter...and...well...the Red Queen...something so freeing about being able to say "off with their heads"!

I made this card grungy, and added in some of Tim Holtz's yummy metal and ticket stamps. I finally broke down and purchased some of Tim's clocks. The price was horrible, and I did get a small discount at my LSS...but still. Tim, dude y'all are killin' me here. I'm paying so. Cal. prices for this stuff, dude! Make some ugly stuff for a while, k?

Here is a close up shot of the NEW Graphic45 flowers. These are made from a heavy weight cardstock, not quite chipboard, so they have some flexibility, but are not flimsy. You can really manipulate them into shape. You can also see a bit of one of the new G45 Trims here.

I used more of Tim's stamps on the inside of the card. And that's enough free advertising for that guy!

And naturally I had to use the Jabberwocky! I just love saying that word! Sounds like a really great cuss word! But it's NOT!

And get a load of my Tim Holtz memo pin! I used a technique that I stole from the Studio 490 blog...I put some paper behind the pin, then filled the hole with glossy accents...and made a super funky cool embellie! Do I rock or what? Ok, Wendy rocks, but still...

Because I am a crazy person, I made another card in this same style that I had planned for a class in August. I won't be teaching the class now, but I do plan to sell some paper kits for the class, so stay tuned!

I still used the Tim Holtz stamps, but less of the metal...to make the class affordable.


Do you love the ruler twill? Me, too!


This card is not as fancy as the one for CHA, but I still like it.

I have more Wonderland cards to show you, but think tomorrow I'll reveal the Steampunk Debutante line as it's my FAVORITE!
