CHAPTER ONE: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: THE BEGINNING..."The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. "Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?" he asked. "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop."
ALICE GETS GLAM: INSPIRATION CHALLENGE
In anticipation of the upcoming Tim Burton remake, let's GET GLAM with Alice! Jessica recently scored this UBER fab makeup palette by Urban Decay and fell in love with the awesome colors, the NAMES of the eyeshadows (all after Alice, of course ;) and the pop-up mushroom mirror!
For my card I use an image from the original designs for the book and you can pick up those images at Lenny's Alice in Wonderland Site. Since the kit focused on the mushroom, Alice, and mushrooms, I decided to use the above catepillar image. You may have noticed that I colored only the focal points that were in the kit. I also tried to use some of the colors that were similar. I must say this kit is absolutely gorgeous in real life. Yes I do have one, but no I do not know how to use it.
We wanna see how YOU get Glam using this amazing little piece as your inspiration! Show us your style, put on the glitz, and GET GLAM!
And WHAT would our first Challenge be without a PRIZE?! Now, normally we'll be (hopefully) sponsored on the 1st Sat. of each month, but for today's FIRST Fall Down the Rabbit Hole, we thought we'd give away a little something! ONE LUCKY WINNER will be chosen at Random to WIN a stamp single of their choice from THE GREETING FARM (in stock items only). So, GOOD LUCK and here's how to play:
