Cheshire Cat

I made this card for a sketch challenge for Shirleys 2 Girls.  A bonus is that we got this cheshire cat as a free digital download.  I colored the cat with Copic markers and highlighted him with a spica pen.  I used glossy accents on his teeth.  I wanted to create a psychedelic effect, so I used brightly colored patterned papers and added a brightly colored mushroom image from The Greeting Farm.  I'm not sure if I'm thoroughly pleased with the end result, but it does look "Alice in Wonderland-like."  By the way, I went and saw the movie last weekend and it is definately a good one!
