Reminder CHAPTER 23: We're All Mad Here So Anything Goes

`In THAT direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, `lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving the other paw, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
-- Chapter 6, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Donna/Meme of  memesartplace has created 5 beautiful cards using Rick's wonderful Wonderland images.

We have the Mad Hatter in all his glory.  Who wouldn't smile at these fabulous colors?

Sweet Alice.  How perfect for a little girl's birthday.

And speaking of birthdays, how about this for a belated one?  Too cute!

The Tweedles look a bit disheveled.  Read what Donna/Meme has in mind for them.

And finally, the perfect Valentine!  Be sure to stop by memesartplace and leave a comment for Donna/Meme's wonderful work. 

In our last creation, we have Alice down the rabbit hole and all the characters she encounters along the way.  Donna Mundinger of Popsicle Toes created this whimsical step card.  

This Alice is a brand new image.  See how she gets smaller and smaller the further tumbles?
Donna kept the card base black and white and backed all of her fussy cut images in black as well to make the colors POP.

Embossing adds the interest to the tree in which the Cheshire appears and the doodling on the spiral rabbit hole mimics the patterned tie he wears.

This gives you an idea of the depth Donna has created.  Find out about it's creation, as well as many more detailed pix of the rest of the characters, all colored with Copics, on her blog.

Be sure to stop by Popsicle Toes to leave a comment for Donna about oh so mad Wonderland creation!
