Had some time to play in the Technique Challenge this morning since it is a holiday. I actually looked at this tutorial a few weeks ago, but didn't do it because I can't measure worth a flip. I look and it looks exact to me and then it comes out looking like I guessed instead of measured.
I was inspired by my friend Vicki at Stamp Smiles to dig out old stamp sets and play with them so I dug out Natural Beauty which is one of my favorites.
Hugz!!!

Your measuring looks perfect to me. Such a great idea to use the bkg stamp for this technique. The 3 butterflies are the perfect focal point with this technique and stamp.

One of my favorite sets too, NAncy! I love that you used the fab sentiment as the bg!!!

Love your take on the challenge using the wordy background stamp then adding your very pretty, trio of butterflies!!! So great that all of the words are positive and encouraging! Wonderful card, Nancy!

Nancy, this turned out amazing. I need to find a BG stamp with words or sentiments, because I love this technique with this look. I think your measuring looks spot on, and the addition of butterflies is wonderful! TFS.
