Hello Cupcake - Lili of the Valley DT

Good Morning Everyone, 
This is a card I made for a customer, for her daughters 50th birthday. I've used an adorable stamp from Lili of the Valley called - Hello Cupcake. I have used the rubber stamp version for my card, however she is available as a digi stamp. The rubber stamp is the opposite way round so you would need to 'flip' the digi to print her out this way round.

I've coloured her with a mix of copics and promarkers (Mainly promarkers as I don't own many copics!) The background papers are from First Edition and Crafters Companion.
I've used a Creative Expressions - Perfect Peony open petals die and a computer generated sentiment.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
