Birthday card

This morning i finished off a birthday card which i am going to be sending to my Step-mum, i have not seen her in years as she seperated from my Dad quite a few years ago, nether the less i still like to send a card on her birthday to show i still think of her.

The image is a lily of the valley one, which i had free in a magazine ages ago and i thought it would be perfect for Denise.  I have kept the card nice and simple and used papers from K&Company, 'Roam' range ( i bought these at a car boot sale about a year ago!!!!).  backed onto different coloured card.  Coloured image using pro-markers and used tim holtz distress  ink (old paper) and stamped a happy birthday sentiment and added this to hte card using pads.  This was all placed onto a cream card.

I am entering this into the following challenges:
