Left Of Center Challenges Dark themed Anything Goes DT inspiration

Hello! Time for your friendly mid way reminder for the LOC's Anything Goes (dark themed) challenge!
The LOC blog is HERE for those of you that have seen this post elsewhere !


This time round I have used an Alice image From Our Sponsor Smeared ink....

I used :

Promarkers , flocked chipboard letters, a TH fobwatch embossing folder, A Spellbinders impressabilities plate, Distress ink, Memento Ink, a Dimension Fourth pack of cards stamp,

coredinations Cardstock (red)

Black onyx cardstock from AMD

a background from the Alice in Wonderland 'important Date' Crafting disc

and of course the Alice Image from Smeared ink

Before matting the fobwatch embossed card, I sanded it back then distressed it with vintage photo ink and black memento ink in different areas using an old blusher brush 

(Mum if you are reading this, yes it was the one you gave me, ooops !)

I matted that in black, then the black embossed piece in red, before aranging them on the matted background (which was printed onto Glossy photo paper)

and added the image.

I then added the playing cards to two corners and then the sentiment letters in the free space at the top. I made them meander on purpose :)

The playing cards are meant to represent the  Red Queen's soldiers (the clubs in the pack were the soldiers)

and the fob watches the White rabbit :) Unfortunately I had nothing else that would do for any of the other characters !

Hope you like it, and that it gives you some inspiration if you haven't already played along with this challenge!

I'd love to see you over there...
