wonderland party favours sticker designs

I designed some more moo stickers on a Wonderland theme.. The stickers we had for Oliver’s party favours turned out so well, I had to do some for Cyan’s party too..

I spent many hours colouring up more of the original illustrations by John Tenniel, like the ones I did for the invitations.. There are six sets of designs, with six stickers on each sheet. These correspond to the six characters I have designed the party bags around – the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, Alice, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat & the Mad Hatter..

I think my favourite is the Queen of Hearts.. Off with their heads!













The icon designs with the coloured gingham backgrounds relate to the party bags..

Oliver’s favourites are the Cheshire Cats, the Caterpillar and the Rocking horse fly designs..

Cyan’s favourite is the Don’t be late! one with the White Rabbit looking at his watch.. she was fascinated watching me add colour to the illustrations in Photoshop, and wanted to have a go..

I set her up a file with the layers she would need, then I showed her how to pick the colour she wanted to paint with, and to use the ‘E’ for Erase key to swap to the Erase tool if she needed to erase an area, and then to hit the ‘B’ for Brush key to swap back to the brush tool.

Here is Cyan’s White Rabbit, she’s not quite finished with it yet, but he’s looking great..

  5. How beautiful and creative. I love vintage children's books and have quite the collection.
    I will have to come up with some creative ways to showcase them. I am planning on putting two on a a cubboard if I ever get it painted.

  7. These are gorgeous! I made stickers for my Alice party loot bags too. But mine were not nearly as involved lol. Did you design the icons yourself?
