Mother's Day card featuring a wax crayon background, a watercoloured silhouette image and a paper doily

Blue is my Mom's favorite colour so I usually make her cards with some blue on them.  For this card I created a large black card that fit inside a large envelope from my stash.  I added this beautiful background paper which I created using white cardstock and wax crayons.  I laser printed the silhouette wildflower image (Dover)  onto white cardstock, trimmed it out and then added blue watercolour.  Once dry, I stamped the greeting (SU) in black Versafine near the top.  I punched a hole above and below the greeting and then inserted a black ribbon which I tied on the front with two knots and then trimmed the tails.  I trimmed a little white doily in half and added them to the top and bottom of my image before mounting this large focal element to my card front with 3D foam tape.  I did run my pattern tracing wheel on all four edges of my flower image to add some paper pierced texture but it does not show up very well in this photo.
