Alice in Wonderland is always a favorite. She got into my head and I couldn't stop thinking about her...so my next tag is all about Alice. I began with our jumbo tag and grabbed the "Alice" colors of paper, along with embellishments and the original art stamp plate from the Muse.  I like to get double duty from supplies, so I often use things that were meant for other things! (does that make sense?) Layering the papers I found that I really liked the soft line of the black and white die cut paper placed on the bold chevron stripe.

In order to choose which of the prints I wanted to use, I inked up my ...
