Woodsy Black Eyed Susan card

Wow, third card in a month, I can't believe I've had time to fit creating in!  I've got a couple more projects in mind that I want to do before the end of the year as well, I sure hope I can keep this momentum going.

This card is for a friend's birthday this year. 
I used the Black Eyed Susan set.   It's a whopper 5x7 size!  Had to dig in my spare envelope drawer to see if I had managed to collect one that size. Found a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 envelope, a little big, but beats trying to make an envelope that large.
Here's the front.  I really love the canvas-ey woodsy pine color paper I found at Hobby Lobby.
I watercolored using my trusty Tombow markers and a waterbrush. Printed the image on 90 lb. watercolor paper.
Here's the inside.  The pattern paper is from the same digi set.
Supply list:
