Alice In Wonderland Tea Cup Cards

"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."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

The irony of that quote...LOL...

Almost seems as if it was written for my blog! 

Ahem, right then, on with it...

I worked on these yesterday so that I could show you some of the amazing variety over at

All of the Alice In Wonderland images are from Nicecrane Designs. 

Here is Alice and The DodoBird

 Alice is colored with Copics, but I've left the Dodo bird black and white for fun.  If you notice the tea cup in the back, you will see that I've also divided it between black and white on the left and color on the right.

I originally had her dress yellow then showed it to my daughter who said, "Her dress is supposed to be blue, Mom."  Miffed, I sat back down and grabbed a blue copic and began coloring.  "Oh, you big moron!" is what I said to myself.

Next week when I go volunteer at the elementary school, I'll be making time to sit in on the art class and relearn my color wheel.

Yellow + Blue = GREEN...geesh!

 The Toad that delivers mail in Alice In Wonderland

 He is also colored in Copics.  Originally I think the legs were to be white for stockings, but I wanted more green on him so I colored them in as his actual skin color.

I did not try to match any specifics on their outfits from the original movie.  I just wanted to color them however I saw fit.

 I received those cute little playing cards from Pamela at Free Vintage Digital Stamps, in a blog candy win.  They fit perfectly with the theme.

The Mad Hatter

He is also colored in Copics.

I think he's probably my favorite.

I just love that pocket watch and the hat and the numbers on his hat, and the vest and, yeah, he's definitely my favorite. 

These are the fabulous digital stamps I used and if you're interested in checking them out, just click the picture.

 OR...if you have issues with colors like me, here are the pre-colored images as well.

As much fun as these teacup cards were to make, they wouldn't have been possible were it not for the other outstanding free digital images found at The Graphic's Fairy, (teacups, clock and birdcage images were used) Magic Moonlight, and Paper Crafts Online Downloadable Sentiments and the waiter hand with "drink" coming out of the teacup is from my old 2011 chef calendar.  Always handy to keep those things around for neat-o whatnots. 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Lisa !!
