Commissioned Birthday Card

I was asked to make a spring-like/more subdued colours birthday card for a customer.  I decided to use a Crafts and Me digital image by Hannah Lynn called "Forever Rose".  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and tore the edges around the image to add some texture.  The pink mount underneath was also torn.  The backing papers were one from my stash and also one from a Crafty Individuals pad and I have torn all the edges with a tearing ruler.  I've got my eye on the new plastic ones I've seen which would make tearing backing papers to lay on top of each so much easier as you can see through the plastic whereas with the metal you can't.  I have finished the card off with some lace, ribbon bows, Craftwork Cards sentiment, some butterflies cut out of a piece of backing paper and a felt rose that I won in some candy which has some sewing detail on it.
