CHAPTER 28: (taken from “Child of the Pure Unclouded Brow: preface to “Through the Looking Glass”
Child of the pure unclouded brow
And dreaming eyes of wonder!
Though time be fleet, and I and thou
Are half a life asunder,
Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy-tale.
I have not seen thy sunny face,
Nor heard thy silver laughter;
No thought of me shall find a place
In thy young life’s hereafter -
Enough that now thou wilt not fail
To listen to my fairy-tale.

Before we get to this week’s theme, a bittersweet Goodbye is in order to our FABULOUS August Guest, Stephanie Jones as well as two of our full time twisted sisters, Kim and Kristy. We are SO sad to see you all go and THANK YOU-ALL of you for such a wonderfully twisted time! HUGS!!!!
This week’s theme is simply to make a card with a LITTLE GIRL theme:) Alice is such a whimsical free spirit and we LOVE that about her! Channel your inner girlie this week with this great (and free-to-be-you!) challenge!
For my card this week I used Sunny Bumbles from Paper Pretties and colored it with Copics on PTI cardstock. I colored it to match (sort of) this really cute Olivia paper from Basic Grey. I wanted to keep the layout pretty simple so I just layered the image up and added a bit of ribbon and a few Kaiser pearls to finish of the card.
Here’s a close up of the coloring.
I hope you guys enjoyed this week’s challenge and get a chance to play along with us! We’d love to have you stop by. You can get all the details at the Oh, Alice Challenge Blog!

GREAT card! I love the non-traditional color scheme for the flowers, those blue centers really make all the colors POP! Once again, the tip about selecting your background paper first, when will I learn! Wonderful coloring and a charming card!
