Alice in Wonderland Mixed Media Bag


Angélique Jarrier wanted to create a gift bag that was magical using the theme of Alice in Wonderland. The result is this beautiful and magical Mixed Media project that would be a treasured keepsake for any lucky recipient.  Wonder what she'll put inside the bag?

For this project Angélique used one of SRM's 5" x 7 1/2" kraft bags.  She loves them since they have great resistance with her Mixed-media techniques that she loves to make.

And she also used a SRM Fancy Sticker Sentiment in the Thinking of You design.    
You can use these clear stickers on almost any surface and use almost any ink or paint.  They have great resistance too.  I love the way the fancy sentiment is used on the bottom of Angélique's gift bag.  The clear sticker blends in with the decoration by adding a little fancy to the story of Alice in Wonderland.

Now let's take a look at more beautiful details of this project.

The bottom of the bag is worked in white paint with a small point stencil and distress inks. Angélique also stamped on the bottom.

The tag is also worked with paint and a small point stencil, but to give a bit of contrast and relief, she placed a piece of paper doily on the tag beneath her beautiful collage.

The finishing touches on Angélique's projects are always so fun and whimsical.  Don't you love the  cat poised at the top of the bag seemingly observing all of Alice's escapades!
