Evil Alice Left of Center Design Team Project for Challenge #65 Sponsored by Simply Betty Stamps

New week at Left of Center Challenges!  This week we are sponsored by the fabulous Simply Betty Stamps and she had one of my favorites...Wicked Alice!!  The theme this week is lost love and although I personally wouldn't want to cross this evil little Alice...I found an Alice quote that seemed very fitting for this theme.  I typed the quote in Photo Shop and printed on a DP from a Halloween stack.  The "canvas" of this project is a humble cereal box!  Yep, they make fabulous canvases.  I coated this one with black Tulip puffy paint just for some texture and got the added benefit when I heated it with my heat gun to quicken the drying process of it bubbling up and puffing slightly where I had layered it thicker.  Loved the effect!  My bow ( bows are my nemesis!!) is some lace seam binding dyed with aged mahogany distress ink pad mixed with some alcohol..was too lazy to find my water bottle! and crumpled the lace in the pool of color and let dry.  It dried very quickly!  I used it for the bow which I added some little burgandy mini roses and a stick pin I made with a plastic heart bead that I painted black with a sharpie maker and added some coordinating glass beads from my stash.  The little black heart started as a pink plastic heart from a bag intended to be table decorations I think and I put embossing glue on the heart and used black embossing powder and heated with heat gun.  I was careful due to the plastic heart but again really liked the results.  The die cut heart behind her I cut a broken line through and then sewed by hand a zig zag stitch for the lost love.  I picked up some little doilies at Michael's and in real life the colors all are a deeper hue and these fit in well.  I backed the bottom of the image with a harlequin pattern Halloween paper in black and purple.   Some burlap paper with the backing removed and frayed some and some of the lace around the "canvas" a couple of times and colored with Bick Mark Its and Evil Alice is staring at you!   I am in love with my handmade enamel dots made from melted beads so I added 3 to the heart.  Beware..... she is watching you!  I think she wants you to come  join us at Left of Center and win some great images from Simply Betty's Stamps and a badge....call some friends and see who wins!  We are waiting to see your wonderful creations!
Happy crafting!!

    My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
