Commissioned Birthday Card

I was asked to make a card for a customer for a young lady who is physically attached to her i-pod type machine.  I knew this Kenny K image would be perfect for this.  I used my Promarkers/Copics to colour the image in and then cut out with a Nellie Snellon die.  I have distressed the edges with Tim Holtz's Faded Jeans distress ink pad.  The backing papers are all scraps from my scrap box - yest I am still continuing my New Year's resolution to use my "stash up" that I have bought/been given for my charity work - now that we are in September I have come to the conclusion me thinks I had too much paper!!!  I have made up a pattern with the scraps and then distressed the edges with the Faded Jeans ink pad again.  I was a bit reluctant to use this colour as this is the foam bit I have attached the blending tool I got with my Tim Holtz's TSV earlier in the year.  Last year when I was using it I had a little accident and the handle flew out of the base and ended up bruising my left wrist so out came my Pinflair glue gel to the rescue and my distressing tool is once more mended but I am still a bit conscious of the sore bruise I have on my left wrist at the moment!!!  I then used my new Tim Holtz embossing folder which I LOVE and want more and distressed the edges again with the Faded Jeans to tie it all in again.    The card is then finished off with some lace, sentiment off the computer, paper flowers with blue brads in the centre which I must have had for 2-3 years now and never used, flower brads and some card candy.
