Express the Moment Double Header, Part 2

What a fantastic sketch from Pagemaps for September.   http://pagemaps.blogspot.com/2011/09/express-moment-double-header-part-2.html

This is my Entry

I chose a fall scene as the leaves here are at their peak.  I took some of these pictures from the park beside our home and felt they fit perfectly with the sketch.
I used Bo-Bunnys new Fall line of paper- Forever Fall Nature
The background paper is from Core'dinations.
The leaves are die cut using Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves Bigz Die by Sizzix
I also used Tim Holtz Falling Leaves Stamp set and stamped them on Wendy Vecchi's Clearly for Art Film using StazOn ink in blazing red and black.
Flowers are Prima that I added some rock candy Distress Stickles to and added a brad from a older Bo-Bunny collection.
Journaling Card is from RojeMoka Design.
Border stamp is from Pinkpaislee, house of three Soiree using Colorbox Petal Point Pigment inkpad in turquoise and added just a little clear stardust pen to the dots.
The little dragon fly is a brad from my stash.

Simon Says Stamp and Show Men Only

A man with a bird cage on his head, now is that imagination or what, I am sure if the bird was only perched on his shoulder it would certainly fly away. I love this stamp from Tim Holtz and have not had the opportunity to use it until today.

I've stamped him on Tim's Kraft resist paper that was inked with Distress Stain in faded jeans and distressed the edges with antique linen distress ink, also added the ruler from Tim Hotz Salvage Stickers crowded attic. The tag is covered with Tim's Distress Stain in wild honey, it's one of my favourite colours. I then inked the edge of the tag with frayed burlap and added Tim's stamp from his visual artisty collection the quote Imagination is more important than knowledge. It just seemed too perfect with this image. With both stamps I used jet black archival ink from Ranger. The Muse tokens and Philosophy Tags were added along with some hemp twine and then attached it to the card with ZOTS 3D. Finally after using the ATG to secure it to the card base I glued the Tim Holtz ball chain with Helmars quick dry adhesive.
