~CT Tag showoff~ ~Darkside of the Looking Glass~

7:46 PM | Posted by melwdswife | Edit Post

~CT PinkParadox Productions~

~Darkside of the Looking Glass~

This is a great kit! Perfect for the Wonderland themed tags. It was created to match Ninaste's Alice tube, but I think it would go well with just about any other Alice tubes. It has 185 elements, 12 frames, and 30 papers. It is great fun to play with and just a must have!

Kit: Darkside of the Looking Glass by PinkParadox Productions, available at her store HERE

Tube "Alice" by Ninaste; this tube will be for sale at BeeHive Studio HERE. You must have a license to use this work.

Here are 2 CT show offs of this kit:
