Happy Birthday Bear

Here's my take on this weeks Friday Sketchers #50 Beatrix's sketch. As the sketch looks like a tall slim card, I copied it and so I'm also entering this card in the Stamp for fun challenge #5, their theme is make a 4" x 8" card.
The image is one I received in an image swap, I coloured with Zig Brushables and added a touch of glitter around the edge of the hat. The papers, flower and ribbon are all from Craftwork Cards, layered with gold mirror board.
Sorry about the photo, it doesn't seem to matter where I take my photo's they always look dark. I put a daylight light on facing card and try to take infront of a white background, nothing seems to work, what am I doing wrong?... any help please!
