To join a few challenges including our I Can Hear Music challenge over at Try it on Tuesday, I created this fun “Painting the Roses Red” page using my new Alice Through The Looking Glass papers from Stamperia – I hope you like it!
I started by covering the background with some grey and silver acrylic paints, smudging them onto the page using a baby wipe. Then I layered some decoupage paper and design papers over the top using a glue stick and Liquitex matte gel medium.
The framed images were cut from the Alice Through The Looking Glass papers by Stamperia, decorated with some washi tape roses and mushroom stickers and then layered together on the page. To finish, I added the wording which were letter stickers by Docrafts.
Do you remember this fun song from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland?
As T Stands for Tuesday, I’m sharing this Lancaster Red beer and wishing the T Gang a very Happy T Day and sending E very happy birthday wishes! If you look closely at the bottom of the pump clip, you can see the Red Rose of Lancaster which is a heraldic badge dating back to medieval times and is often see here in Lancashire as it’s our county flower.
Hoping that you’re staying safe and well! x
Thanks for joining me today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

I do remember that song from Alice in Wonderland, and it works perfect for your page. I like your red theme today. You can’t go wrong with a red ale/beer and roses, can you? I do like your page and thanks for sharing it at Alison’s challenge at AJJ. I hope all is well with you and you’re having a great T day. Have a great end of the month too Jo. Hugs-Erika

Delightful page. And even before the video, I had the earworm. Thankfully, a happy little tune as I clean the living room / dining room. Happy T Day

Wow! I’ve never been an Alice fan. Guess I should say I was never exposed to Alice in Wonderland, but I love what you have done with the page and that song that was new to me, too. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey using Alison’s theme.
What a fun drink. I learned about the red roses when I learned about the War of the Roses while making my Kings and Queens altered book. I would recognize that symbol anywhere, now and I am sure so would every Brit. Not sure how many in the states would, though. We don’t know your history that well, I fear. Thanks for sharing your incredible art and your Lancaster Red beer with us for T this Tuesday, dear Jo!

Loved Alice! When I had my tonsils out when I was 8, I was yelling “off with their heads” as I came out of the either! LOL Great page! Happy T Day~

Sadly I didn´t know the song – that way.
We watched it in Rügen, my Brother, Mum and me, on a laptop (in German). It was her last holiday. So I have very fond memories (well and sad ones) of this movie.
We were in a restaurant that featured pics of this, that´s why we watched it in the first place!
Hmmmm, that beer looks tempting!!!
Happy belated T-Day

I don’t recall ever having seen the film though! The Lancaster rose is so recognisable, we don’t see so much of it in Manchester any more…the bees have taken over!! Hugs, Chrisx
