Scrapbooking: eclairstasty/curiouser & curiouser

I wanted to do a double page layout about our visit to wonderland, but I also wanted it to have, almost like a side note, about Kai having his first eclair before we went to Wonderland.

I treated it as a 4" by 12" layout for the "Eclairstasy" page, and a 20"x12" layout for the "Curiouser & Curiouser" page

 I tried to use eclair type colours for this page, including covering dark brown card with glossy accents to make it look like chocolate.

I printed out a picture of a queen of hearts card which I'd turned the opacity down on, which I then used as the background you can see. I added a red punched border to separate it from the eclairstasy page, and also used this at the other end of the 2nd page to pull it together.
I added a paper pieced hat, some tickets off my Secret Santa (Thanks Carmen) and some diamond patterned graphic 45 card which I again repeated on the other end (also from my secret santa)

 I chose to go for a more of a Tim Burton alice in wonderland feel for these pages rather than the more disney inspired look I've used previously (You can take a look HERE)
