Let's Get Shabby Challenge 9..........

The challenge this month at Let's Get Shabby is to make a shabby garden project , include a quote from Alice in Wonderland and have a variety of at least 5 flowers. Well I just couldn't go past this photo of me at a "Fancy Dress Ball" when I was about 5 or 6. Didn't I make just the cutest lil' Queen of Hearts. I took my quote from Chapter 11 Who stole the Tarts? when the King asked the white rabbit to read the accusation.....and he began..."The Queen of Hearts, She made some Tarts, all on a summer day:"
My dear Mum made my costume and some real jam tarts on a plate as well. I printed out a larger photo onto white cardstock. Look at my hair.....all curly.....I probably would have had it in curlers for the day. lol
I've used a few more than 5 varieties of flowers so to make them all blend a little better I touched a few of them up with some cream paint just to bring it all together a little and to "shabby" it up a bit more.







Had soooo much fun with this one. tfl.
