Zombie Alice with a Bow in Her Hair - a Delicious Doodles DT project!

Happy April 1st to you all!
Before I share today's project I've got news about my new blog, Velvet Paw Creations.  Nope this isn't an April Fools prank heheheh, I'm busy doing a complete re-design of my website and my blogs and my new blog now has my Velvet Paw Creations.com URL and will feature the projects I create for the design teams I'm on.  I'm going to do a slow transition so my projects will be shared in both locations for now.  I hope you will all pop on over to my Velvet Paw Creations blog and start following me there now too.  Don't leave this blog though coz I've got a big unveiling and a launch to soon announce and LeighSBDesigns will be the blog for my grand new adventure!  I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Now for today's project share!  It's time for our new challenge over at Delicious Doodles Challenges and April's theme is Ribbons and Flowers.  I could not resist using this GORE-gous ghoul, Angry Zombie Alice, who looks so lovely with a bow in her hair don't you think!  I paired Zombie Alice up with another DD digi, the Rose Corner, which I used twice to create the frame for Alice.

I designed the layout in Photoshop CS6 and printed out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I coloured everything with Copic markers and used drops of rubbing alcohol on the roses and leaves to blur and bleed the colours together to further enhance the grunge vibe I wanted for this piece and then worked some more on the leaves and roses with Copics.  I distressed the edges of the cardstock with Tim's paper distresser tool and used Derwent brown pastel pencil blended with a Dove Blender pen on the background.  I used Dylusions white paint pen on the dots and applied Viva le Pearl Magic White Transparent on top for a touch of dimension and shimmer.  I also applied clear Wink of Stella to her glorious red nails.  I made a bow for her hair and adhered it over the bow that's part of the design with a glue dot and finished off by adding small blue self-adhesive jewels to the flourishes and larger ones on all four corners.  I then matted the panel onto slate "dirty" blue cardstock which I tore to further add to the grunge feel of the piece before adhering everything to a folded card I made from a sheet of black cardstock.  I love the finished piece and that I achieved exactly the look and feel I was going for.
