Through the garden gate

Through the garden gate is the name of this week's Stamps R Us Challenge and I've taken it literally with this new stamp of a gateway from Stamp Addicts, I've a few scenes waiting to be made into cards using this stamp, which may just be my absolute favourite rubber stamp at the moment:).  I've brayered and spritzed the background, adding a pale moon.  The other stamps are a dotty Stamp Addicts background, Clarity tree, and Hobby Art birds and branches.  I've mounted it onto some Artylicious paper and simply added a ribbon.
My card is for the following challenges:
Stamps R Us - through the garden gate
Little Claire - things with wings
By the Cute & Girly - things with wings
The Craft Garden - use a bird
Art Impressions Stamps - show me the bird
Paper Play - things with wings
Simon Says - anything  goes

Dandelion

This is a stamp from Sheena Douglass, which has the sentiment Time Flies - very appropriate as I'm sending this with a late cheque for a workshop - oops!  Sheena mentioned how many people are reminded of themselves as a child by this image that she drew and I am yet another of them, the short thick hair and chubby legs, maybe it's the way all the babieswho are now of a certain age looked at that stage lol!
Anyhow, coloured with Copics, Distress Inks, Stickles on the dandelions.  The sketch is from Midnight Madness, I made the flowers with tiny punches and the DP is Basic Grey Marjolaine.
