Alice and The Blue Caterpillar

Making my card for the Altered Alice Challenge earlier in the month, I came across this fabulous original illustration by John Tenniel of Alice and the Blue Caterpillar, and couldn't resist colouring it for a second Autumn-themed Alice card.

"You're Smokin'"

The image was printed onto cream card and coloured with promarkers. The background branches were punched from various cardstocks using a Martha Stewart Deep Edge punch, then adhered with PVA to a distress-inked background. The lettering was double die-cut in blue and black using a Tim Holtz strip die. Hubby says "it's not very PC...", but I couldn't resist the sentiment (say it like Jim Carey would). :)

Entered for the following challenge:
