Play Date Cafe - Curiouser and Curiouser

Cried Alice!  I'm just loving the new Wonderland Collage plate from Artistic Outpost and thought it would work wonderfully with Julie's inspiration photo for this weeks challenge at The Play Date Cafe!

Don't you just love the bird cage!  I embossed a piece of Black metal from Ten Second Studios with the Damask Folder, ran it through my Big Shot using the Tim Holtz Bird Cage Die, then sanded with a Dura Sand Block (pink), to reveal the silver underneath.  I thought it might be fun to add the DoDo from the Wonderland Collage plate to the birdcage, to fill in the background, I masked the image with Eclipse tape then added the Collage from the Artistic Outpost Birds of a Feather Plate.  The image is colored using the Marker Watercoloring Technique, incorporating colors from the Play Date Cafe Challenge.

This week the Play Date Cafe is thrilled to welcome Mod Podge as the Sponsor, offering up this wonderful prize, and Jen Tappler as Guest Designer!

Here's Julies's inspiration piece, isn't it great!
