Happy Birthday Maddy!

Here is a card I have made for my Niece's birthday. I thought I would have a go at a gate-style card which opens from the middle. I seem to make a lot of easle-style cards, which I love, but I wanted to try something different and it was fun to make. I just love the stamp; it is part of a collection of gorgeous Carousel horses designed by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps. This one is called 'untamed love' and I have coloured him with copics and added some glossy accents.  For my flowers I used glimmer mist in 'tattered rose' for some added sparkle (I must use glimmer mist somewhere on my cards every time no matter what!). I have also used ribbon, bling and lace. Enjoy!

Please let me know what you think!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
