Wonderland and the joys of the RVK!!!!!!

Well the Red Velvet Kit was sitting on my floor for about 5 days, two of which I was not home, at all. Today I finally started messing with it and exploring all the possibilities and I have created a layout using one of my favorite Polaroids from the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park. I am quite happy with how it turned out and now here I am sharing it with you.

What I loved most about the kit was the papers that Stephanie DosReis created for the Daisy D's scrapbook line "Wonder Years" The colors were so feminine and soft, I loved how they seemed collaged already and they really made the page interesting. The lettering(Jenni Bowlin Chalkboard in black) that was included as well was so perfect because it played against all the softness of the papers and added a bit of edge to the piece. I went and used a page from the Alice in Wonderland coloring/story book I had purchased a bit back in hopes of using it for something such as this, it just adds an extra touch. The quote reads "How do you get to Wonderland?" and that is taken from the Alice in Wonderland song from the movie.

I think my favorite part is the hand detail I did with a fine tip felt pen, lots of little squiggles, dots, flowers and a border around the Polaroid. I enjoy using this technique I have realized:) Then there was some sewn on buttons, a few stitches here and there, a splatter of blue paint along the edges and then I sat back gave it a stare down and called it a day.

Now I must think of all the other fun things I'm gonna do with the rest of the kit I have, and there is alot left ladies and gentlemen. I will be sure to post my progress along the way!!!
