Two Stones with One Card!

Yes, folks, this card is doing double service! It's my entry for this week's Ink-Stains challenge, and it uses cs from my OSW. Don't ask how long it took to figure it out. The fact that the challenge was to use a card sketch helped. This week, the card sketch comes curtesy of Di Hickman at http://dihickman.blogspot.com/ Scroll down to her March 11 entry for the sketch. Thanks, Di!

Oh, yes, the translation of the message is, "Yoo-hoo, it's me!" Sounds better in French.

Have a great day, everyone!

Please don't psychoanalyze Alice & co.!

I can't believe I forgot to post the card I made with one of my Alice stamps! Alice Who??? Alice of Wonderland fame, of course. Yes, I know, the caterpillar is smoking a hookah, which is traditionally loaded with some version of pot, and is, moreover, sitting on a magic mushroom. Enough said! I prefer to focus on my childhood experience of the scene, which, for me, was sheer delight at the thought of talking to a caterpillar.

In the 1950's Walt Disney film version, instead of disappearing into the surrounding grass, the caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly. I like to think of the possibility of transforming myself, by dint of the struggle to improve my virtues and conquer my faults. No magic mushrooms needed for that!

This was also the ink-stains weekly challenge/mingle for March 6-12. I'm including the card sketch/map for it. Site administrater Kim gives credit for the sketch to The Square Studio. Here's the link: http://papersquares.blogspot.com/
