Colourful Flowers!

Can you believe it is raining again here in the North East!  It feels more like autumn at the moment than summer!
So while all the rain was falling I made this card for my mother in law as it's her birthday this Sunday (the colours are a lot more vibrant in real life than they look in the photos!):

The flower stamp is from Penny Black and I inked it up randomly with splodges of Adirondak Cloudy Blue and Juniper and then a bit of Worn Lipstick Distress Ink was added too.  I liked this colour combination so used the same inks on the script stamp which is from Inkylicious.

I added some white organza ribbon and tied a bow off to the side and added a little pink button in the centre.  I then added those fab glitzy papermania pink brads - I thought about adding a sentiment but at the last minute decided against it.  So I hope she will like it!

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
