The SugarBowl challenge- Maria Therese's sketch

Hello my lovelies... Sorry , I have been a little quiet.. busy with samples at the mo' and as predicted I came home with armfuls a few items from Harrogate GNPE..lol!
So, whats have i been doing?? well... firstly I made my DT card for LLF, you will have to wait til Thursday for that.. but I did take time out to play over at the SugarBowl, and the SugarNellie FB group on FB.
There is a fabby sketch by Maria Therese.. and an optional inspirational photo.. which is not too dissimilar from the one on SNFB page.:-)...

 I have used some really old papers... MME fine & dandy and the leaves one is from how does your garden grow or something like that... the image is " Light of mine", from the pen of Krista Smith, as a Simply sassy stamp.she is coloured with Spectrums. The leaf die  cut from Heartfelt Creations "Aster" die set, and the flower is a Spellbinders , I think.

I have dabbed a little acrylic white paint with my finger to distress the flower, and thats all really... 
i am entering this in the following challenges.
