Another Sweet Pea Stamp - Thousand Years Waiting

I'm struggling to resist playing with these gorgeous Sweet Pea stamps, the only trouble is I'm supposed to be making men's cards!! I really like this card, despite the mistake I've made - there's been a substantial rescue job with the image which I hope isn't glaringly obvious!

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and the background created with Distress Inks. The mermaid has been highlighted with Stickles. The flowers have been coloured with Promarkers and given a spritz of Glimmer Mist.
