Knew I'd forgotten ....

.... something, I meant to put glitter on this card, but as I've given it to the customer, bit late now!!!

It's for one of the teachers in school, for her mother's 50th birthday.  She said her Mum loves flowers and cooking.  I immediately thought of a cute little Tilda stamp that I've had for a while but never inked.  Here's what I ended up with:

I used the sketch from this fortnight's Basic Grey Challenges, used BG Capella and Sugared papers, and Sugared brads.  I'm also entering this into Magnolia Down Under (make your own embellishments - mine is the lollipop flower), Little Red Wagon (Do it in 3s - I have 3 papers and 3 brads), Cute Card Thursday (anything goes) and Stamp Something (Digi Day - OK this is pushing it a bit, but my sentiment is computer generated - does that count?!!).

The colours are very slightly off, I took the picture two or three times in different areas, either ended up too yellow with artificial light or too blue with natural light. Ah, the pleasures of winter!!  Having said all that, the adjust contrast thingie on photoshop made a massive improvement, how did I ever work without it!!

I coloured the image with distress inks, still loving this technique.  Here's a close-up:
