Birthday Faerie for Mom!!!

Hello to everyone!

Well hello humans on this earth... How has your day been? Good I hope, cause mine has been filled with no electricity and lots of rain. I am very happy because this week was my mother's birthday! Yay for my mommy! If you have no clue who I am talking about, my mom is Julia.  You probably know her, and if you don't, check out her blogs Paper and Scraps Creations and/or Me and Myself in the Dark.  She is an amazing crafter, and it is because of her that I began crafting.  So why not craft her a birthday card, right? Well although I am 4 days late (since she gave me no time to work on the card) to make the card, I finished it today and gave it to her and another part of the birthday celebration.

It is not a card, its a small poster.  The background in the card is made from canvas paper, which I cut into four pieces and completely hand painted them green using four different techniques.  Here is the first part of the project:

The upper left corner was made with using normal green acrylic paint with splashes of white and black mixed into it, following a left to right motion with the brush.  The upper right was finger painted into the canvas paper, using the white and black to create depth in the green image.  The lower right was made by pressing the brush quickly along the paper to create more of a blurry color mixture.  The last part, the lower left side was made by using a smaller brush, moving it in a circular motion (as if you were writing a J to the opposite direction, using more black and white into the green mix.  Once the paint in canvas paper dried completely, the corners tend to curl, so taking the correct measurements, I glued it to some cardstock and continued making the card, here is my finished project:

The image used is another image from Sureya, her name is the Little Leaf Faerie.  The flowers are 3 layers of the same .png image from Glitterbabe Greetings and they are colored with Spectrum Noir Bright pens and normal markers.

I would like to place this card in the following challenges:
