Machine Texture: Made Especially for you card challenge

This my first challenge and I'm a bit nervous about it, but here goes. To make the texture for my card I used my paper crimper. I really like this little tool. I use it for alot of things even crimping letters. So today I just crimped a piece of light weight brown cardboard for my back ground.

 I made a Tim Holts pinwheel flower to place in the corner to give it some depth 

 with  the butterfly. 

 I found a little picket fencing in my stash of favorites that really set the scene for this card and behind that I place 3 felted flowers  to complete it.

For the inside I placed a small stripe of the crimped paper and another felt flower to  set off the Happy Birthday sentiment. This was a fun one for me.
