Yesterday

Yesterday one of my stamping friends came to see me and I decided we had better make something as we always end up just nattering.  I showed her how to do the triple stamping cards and I just have to show you one of them.

She chose from my stamps what to do on the first one she made but then asked me to choose some stamps/a stamp for her to do her other one.  I chose my "Alice" drawer for her but left it to her to make the choice of which stamps to use.

After some deliberation she chose the Cheshire Cat sitting in a tree with Alice at the foot of it and she decided to put the White Rabbit alongside to fill in the space.  I chose blue and red for her mounts (she was a bit undecided as to what it would look like) but imagine her face when she had finished and she noticed that the Cheshire Cat had his eyes blocked out by one of the mounts.  Jokingly she said "have you any googly eyes, my cat has no eyes".  I laughed and proceeded to look for some and here is the end result.  Am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

They're rather disturbing, those eyes... but then the Cheshire Cat has always been a rather disturbing character! Great card... sounds like you had a lot of fun.

The googly eyes are perfect for the Cheshire cat, he always did a good job of disapearing, and it looks like he has started. LOVE IT
