Alice In Wonderland # 2

I just love a good challenge, so when Always Crafting posted about an  Alice in Wonderland challenge, I had to join in!

( And it was easier since I still had all my supplies out from my other one!)

So here is the funny story:

I searched on line for some inspiration, I knew I wanted to make something with a mushroom. I came upon this and loved it!

Flash forward a few hours, homework, dinner, kids, etc etc and  it's late so I got to work.

I never actually looked at the photo after I saw it on-line but I laughed when I realized what I THOUGHT the tag said!

Here is my project:

Yup, I thought is said EAT ME! LOL I am still so happy with the way it turned out! I really need to go to bed!
