Secret Garden-eventually!

This is my attempt at the March challenge at The Cubby Hole 'A Secret Garden'
It has taken me several attempts to finally decide on something I liked!
The book is an old book from a job lot aquired at a jumble sale-I was inspired by an article in the latest issue of Craft Stamper Magazine to make a 'shrine book'

The door to the secret garden is made from coffee stirrers,gessoed, inked and sanded
I covered the book with tissue paper and stamped bricks and ivy on it.

Inside I used the daisy stamp from Carol's cube and a free craft stamper stamp to make the shrink flowers. The fairies are from stamps by Dovecraft, and the quote'Not all who wander are lost'  is from a Tim Holtz stamp.The music background is from an Artemio stamp.

And I just HAD to put my little house mouse on the front!!
