I want off

Been a cold dreary day here in this corner of Scotland, and I'm sure this isn't the only place. After last week's sunshine my mood has taken a downwards turn, I'm still sore after breaking a couple of ribs a few weeks ago so it really has been a "Blue and Browned off" kind of a day. This I translated into this card. Crafting being my outlet as it is for many.
This card came out of it. The mashed image being inspired from Haunted Design House's challenge this week "Off with their heads" and the sketch followed was from Eat, Sleep, Stamp # 166.
The carosel horse is an image stamped, using a big and juicy multi-coloured pad, from a friends stash and can't remember which company, sorry. The head is from Smeared Ink's Killer Bo-Peep stamped using the same pad and just a few details picked out with promarkers. Stuck onto a hammered c.s. circle that was tapped down on the same pad to give it a bit of colour. Can't have a carnival without some colour now, can we? Some dew drops to add the glitz of a carnival without going overboard.
Behind that is MME swirly DP and co-ordinating plain, then pale blue bassil on top of a duckegg blue mottled paper that I stamped some further swirls on.
The carnival bunting added, to which I added my sentiment.

EDIT - I have been told the horse is from Chocolat Baroque

I am entering this into the following challenges
Haunted Design House - Off with their heads
