Happy Birthday to a special friend

Hello everyone well I have a card for you todaqy and I have to say there are a lot of pic but there is so much detail so sorry in advance.
I made the card a few weeks ago but couldn't show it as the birthday wasn't until friday just gone so now I know she has had it and liked it I can show it
I decided to make a fancy fold card as I wanted it to be really special as it was for a special person
here it is

 papers are nitwits and have been distressed and inked with tattered rose and spun sugar DI

the image has been coloured with promarkers
 colours used are

(skin) Burnt orange, coral pastel pink, blush sunkissed pink

(hair) Satin, tan, cappuccino, nutmeg cinnamon

(clothes) Fresh bloom, blossom pink carnation, peony,

Rose pink, sorbet muted pink

I also used some blending pencils which I am still getting the hang of :oD

 This a view of one of the sides I made the flowers using coffee filter papers and water colour paper

and made the pearl embellishment pins too

 this is the upper part of the inside when it opensthe bottom part was for the verse I put in

the lace and pearl trim was from my stash as were the flat backed pearls

 and I added a few punched butterflies (to go with the present I made for her (coming soon)
 well there you have my card I will see you shortly with the other part of the birthday gift but until then take care and I will leave you with a list of challenges I would like to enter
