Whimsy Guest Designer Call

Afternoon ladies, its been a few days since I have made a card as my mojo up and left me! I just couldn't seem to do anything that I was happy with, but I'm pleased to say I've finally managed to put something together! Whimsy stamps are looking for a guest designer for February and although I probably don't stand a chance, I thought I'd give it a go. This is what the call says:

If you would like to guest design for Whimsy Stamps, please follow these guidelines and enter by Monday, January 26th! This call will close at 11:59 pm EST on Monday January 26th. I don't have any whimsy stamps so I used a penny black hedgie stamp instead and I have coloured the image with distress inks. The curly swirls of paper under the larger flower were inspired by someones blog that I had seen them on, but I'm so sorry I have forgotten who's it was, but thank you!
A close up pic shows the charms and colouring. I created the sentiment on my computer using the font segoe script and the charms were from blog candy winnings. I've decided on a bit of experimentation with my picture taking, the sun is causing me problems with glare and shadows, so I'm going for the two pieces of white card trick at the moment! Edit: I wasn't happy with the photos, so I am experimenting with different areas outside!
