Special lady - My personal stamp challenge #11

Morning All,

Today is the new challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy, the theme is 'Mother/Special lady.  

I have used the beautiful image from sheet 460. I used the pre coloured image for speed. You can get this image from Whoopsi Daisy shop, Linnie has lots of beautiful images to buy.

I have decided to use a small cardboard frame instead of a card, I have coloured it in ink, and then stamped and embossed it. Finally added a little bunch of flowers.

The stamps I have used are from the sets below. The Indigoblu set was a freebie from a magazine. The others are one I have had for a long time, heidi grace and papermania.
