Queen of hearts


 

After making a Time bunny (Page 10) (this one was before I started the blog :), Grinning Cheshire (page 25), Mushies with Absolom, Falling Alice (page 30) and Cuckoo Hatter (Page34) I thought it was time for another favorite from Alice in Wonderland the majestic Queen of Hearts. 

The Queen herself is drawn on 120gsm Color Copy paper and colored with Copics.  I added some details with polychromos and gelly roll pens. 

For the background I took some inspiration of my favorite page in this journal so far, Pierrot Girl. The face on that page is maybe not the best, but I love the background. So I decided to make a square tiled background with hearts. For the colors I used similar colors to the dress of the Queen. 

So I started with coloring the whole page in light oker acrylics. Then I added some stamping of roses and hearts with Archival Ink in red and Plum. Then I  added a darker oker in some squares and even some gold stencilling. The other squares I colored with different blues and added some white stencilling. 

On the borders of the squares I added some gold or blue metallic gelly roll . I also added a pink stamped piggie and a drawn Cheshire Cat as a surprise find :)
