This was made for the color challenge yesterday which was soft sky, basic grey, and Whisper white.
I got the idea for a gate from Paper Crafts magazine, and made my own version. I made card stock hinges and used a dimensional concealed on the back of the gate to give it depth.
This is an open view of the gate, so you can have a peek into the secret garden. I've posted a closed front view as well.
I inked the little girl in Soft sky and colored her in with Stampin' pastels.
The flowers are built up from two different punches and different papers, with a floral brad in the center.
Thanks for looking!

Delicate and springy, Deena. Just what we need. I so want to play this challenge still. I even have an idea, but they end up taking much longer than I anticipate. I'm going to a SCS gathering in Western NY so I need to get at all that stuff. Happy Stampin.
