Sketch Saturday Challenge #9

This is my attempt at the Sketch Saturday challenge for this week. The stamped image is coloured with pencils and blended with sansodor.

The papers are from shabby princess free downloads. I have used a crafters companion stamp for the birthday wishes sentiment and added a paper flower and brad.
