Nonsensical

Nothing like finishing a project just in time!  Today's post is an entry for three challenges.  One, from Smudgy Antics, is due today.  Next is for a Rock N Rolla Challenge on the Smeared and Smudged Forum.  The third is from The Altered Alice.
  Smudgy Antics - Alter a Box - "For this challenge we want to see more than just paper and glue.  We want to see dimension and lots of it."

Rock N Rolla May Challenge - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE

The Altered Alice - Chapter 27 - What A Wonderful Dream It Has Been

I decided to alter a Russell Stover's chocolate box.  It did hold 4 pieces of candy, which I promptly ate.  I had to clean out the box!  
I knew that I wanted to make a diorama of sorts.  The video of the song was Alice in Wonderland inspired as with the black, white, and red color scheme.
With the video and lots of dimension in mind, I created the inside and frame of box so that there is no right-side up or left-side down.   Enjoy...

THE INGREDIENTS

Stamps
Smile is a stamp from Stampotique Originals by Daniel Torrente called 3 Smiles.
I used a digital stamp from Rick St. Dennis called Unbirthday Mad Hatter.  I used the hat, cake and mouse in pocket images.

Embellishments
All embellishments are from Stampin' Up!, current and retired.
 
Printed Images
The playing cards are from a Google search and printed out.

Piece in label hardware is from Graphic 45 designer paper called Midnight Magic.

Dazzling Details, Cherry Cobbler, is on the hearts.  Crystal Effects are on stamp images.  I also used a reinker and Crystal Effects to make the liquid in tea cup.
