All Things Tim Burton Blog Hop


Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?  If you're a Tim Burton fan, you will recognize that line from "This is Halloween" -- a well-known song from the movie  "The Nightmare Before Christmas".  With Halloween just around the corner, this is the perfect time to celebrate all things Tim Burton!  We have a talented group of ladies on this weekend blog hop.  Join us as we each share a project inspired by one of Tim's quirky characters!  

If you've just come from Dena's blog, you are right where you should be !  If you haven't but would like to start from the beginning, go to Dena's blog to start at the beginning.  We would like to thank Karber Digital Images for sponsoring this blog hop.  Karber is giving away some blog candy to one lucky poster on this blog hop.  To be eligible, you must post a comment on each of the blogs in this hop sometime during the weekend of Oct. 22-23.

Now, on to the project I would like to share with you. I made a card of the Queen from the Tim Burton "Alice In Wonderland" movie played by Helena Bonham Carter . I loved that movie. She was a great Queen of Hearts. This card is a long card that fits in a standard long envelope. I made it using a digi stamp that I bought from Fresh Brewed Stamps. They have other AIW stamps too that I purchased.  I love the line. I used copics to color her, but used gel pens for the flowers on the inside of her dress. I added heart bling to her dress, some pearl bling for her earrings and necklace with a heart bling in the middle, and then when I went tot he stamp convention in May, I bought the crown sticker. I think there were maybe 9-12 on the sheet. I new what I wanted to use it for and it is the perfect size for her head.  I used a piece of Christmas paper at the top, where I just cut a strip, some heart ribbon down the side, and striped black and white paper behind her, all mounted on red cardstock. I added a gold trim for a bow on the side and cut her shoes from some shinny gold paper that I had.
