Alice in Zombieland

Hi there, its been a funny day here, I went to see my sister who's in Lincoln about 40 miles away and it was thick fog there and back, makes it a really long depressing drive, even the dogs came back from our walk wet through. But on a brighter note I managed to get a couple of hours in my Bats Cave, I know its a bit different to my usual stuff, but we had these new digi's in at spesch stamps This is Alice in Zombieland, one of a set of four, I've just coloured the Mad Hatter so he's next then its Queenie and the cat.

I coloured her with copics used 7 Gypsies paper Nesties swirl and ovals, some blue gems and ribbon. It was a really nice break from Christmas cards.
