The background technique on the top half of this card is called Faux Handmade Paper and can be found on techniquejunkies.com. It's really fun to do and adds wonderful dimensions to the card.

The bottom of the card was done with my Cuttlebug and and embossing folder. The stamp and markers used to color the envelope and flowers are SU.

You know I really need to get into the habit of scanning my cards before I send them off. I am inclined to get them off to the recipient ASAP.
