New Alice in Wonderland Shrine by Shannon Cooper! Alice SALE!
Filed under Alice in Wonderland, Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Sale, Shannon Cooper
This Wonderland is Better shrine by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper is so wonderful! Shannon used the new Little Niche Shrine – Potion Bottle and new Drink Me Collage Sheet (and made a flower-covered tree with the recently-new Bellflower Mini Punch) to create a beautiful, petite shrine worthy of spring or anyone’s bookshelf!
That new niche shrine is quite small, like all the other Niche Shrines. Plus that new collage sheet was designed specifically for the small niches in all those shrines.
Here’s some background about the artwork from Shannon’s blog post:
I’ve expressed my love for all of the niche shrines from Alpha Stamps before, but I’m going to repeat myself. I love those things! I’ve gotten my hands on quite a few of them, and the newest one is just as enjoyable. Especially if it’s Alice or Hallowe’en themed! Both of those ideas would work well with the potion bottle shape of the new niche shrine. I went with Alice and am saving Hallowe’en for another project.
The shrine was covered with Alice Herself Scrapbook Paper and the images are from the new Drink Me Collage Sheet. I love that collage sheet as much as all of the niche shrines; choosing an Alice for the inside was nearly impossible.
I decided to squish Alice inside the niche and added the White Rabbit to the outside. Alice has stacked adhesive pop dots behind her to place her a bit closer, and there is also a small sliver of pop dot behind the Rabbit’s fan. On the uncut image of Alice and the Rabbit, the fan is drawn over Alice’s hair, so I used a duplicate of the same image to cut out the fan and put it where I wanted.
Another great thing about this shrine is the separate shaped chipboard bottle blanks in case you want to have the shrine stand alone vs using the included hanger. I papered the bottle shape and glued it to the back of the niche portion of the shrine. I had considered using another bottle blank and hinge it to the front like a book, so you could open it to reveal a little scene inside. Maybe next time!
The tree (which I failed to take pictures of during construction) is made from four cloth covered florist stems that were twisted together for the trunk and separated at the top to create branches. Brown crepe paper was twisted around the wires and glued together with watered down Tacky Glue. The blossoms were punched from pink tissue paper using a Bellflower Mini Punch and glued on to the tree.
Great work, Shannon!
Ok… I used most of Shannon’s text from her post, but you can see more photos on her blog post (and you can see the back of the shrine below in the Giveaway). Plus here’s Shannon’s supply list.

More Alice goodies! (Well, mostly… those potion bottle blanks that fit the back of the Potion Bottle Little Niche Shrine could be Halloween potions bottles, too.)

I love Alice in wonderland. Shannon did a beautiful job.
One can never have enough Alice; I particularly love the bottle shrine, the backing that allows it to stand (so hard to find a place to hang these little things) and the clever tree which I will certainly emulate!
As a child I had some Alice and wonderland toys. I will always love everything Alice.
It’s amazing how people of all ages treasure Alice…including me at 70!
The tree is amazing.
Adorable!
Alice is back!
