THE ALTERED ALICE BLOG CHALLENGE - CHAPTER 18: Now you see him...Now you don't !

Welcome back to my blog!

I am excited to make another post about one of my
favourite blogs...The Altered Alice Blog.
This quirky, fun, original, whimsical and sometimes wacky
blog features all things Alice In Wonderland.

Each month The Altered Alice Blog has a challenge.
This month we readers were invited to create a card
where things appear and disappear.

Here is the link for the challenge:  http://alteredalice.blogspot.ca/2012/08/week-1-chapter-18-now-you-see-him-now.html


I CREATED A CARD WITH A SURPRISE THAT CAN ONLY BE
REVEALED WHEN THE CARD IS OPENED.
I THINK IT IS PERFECT FOR A "MISSING YOU" CARD OR
A "WELCOME HOME" CARD.

 

ALICE, THE RABBIT AND THE MAD HATTER
ARE PATIENTLY AWAITING

A SPECIAL GUEST
FOR THEIR TEA PARTY....

FRONT OF THE CARD 

 

WELL..THEY WAITED,  AND THEY WAITED,  
AND THEN
THEY WAITED SOME MORE.

FINALLY... JUST BEFORE ALL THE TEA HAS
BEEN DRUNK AND ALL

THE LOVELY TEA CAKES HAVE BEEN EATEN...

THEIR SPECIAL GUEST ARRIVES!

                                         

 

TO REVEAL THE SPECIAL GUEST...I HAD TO OPEN THE CARD...

 

 

THEIR SPECIAL GUEST IS NONE OTHER THAN...

THE CHESHIRE CAT!

APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR.
