Measurements: The scalloped circle is 2 ½”, width of the narrow black panels are 11/16”, the bottom of panel #1 is 1 ½” from the black strip (it is a separate piece of paper from the top portion), the vertical narrow black is ¾” from the edge of the blue paper.
Hope that helps!
-I stamped the black on the designer paper and ink distressed the edges.
-The image panel is stamped in black and then I mask off for the moon with a ½” punched sticky note, sponged on weathered wood distress ink and then ink distressed the edges with black soot.
-The butterfly is colored with Twinkling H2oÂ’s and artist brush. I first attempted to cut the antenna as I often do put pulled one of them off so when that fails I just stamp that portion of the image on the panel and line the butterfly up to it. ItÂ’s attached the butterfly to the panel with tacky glue.
-Since I donÂ’t own a scalloped circle punch my friend Judy sent me some so itÂ’s inked up with a brayer to change the color and I go around the edge from the back side with a marker to hide the white. From the back side is if you slip and mark the cardstock it wonÂ’t show!
-Cuttlebug die cut is attached with tacky glue.
Talk about a card taking a mind of it’s own, my first thoughts were white and using the new MS scallop punch, then I saw this paper and it took over. A bird was the plan for the circle…OOPS – to big, plan two will be the flowers and butterfly! I do like the end product and may still try the original idea! The Cuttlebug die cut was always a part of the plan…just a different color!
The image layout is sort of a case from the 12x12 piece of designer paper I cut from. Which was a package from a dollar store. I think I'm the cheapest stamper on SCS!
Super job, Rox--great little scene with the lattice CB strips--going with the flow worked perfectly and the bfly gives it great dimension! Like the leaves stamped on the dp too!

Roxi this is gor-gee-ous! I have to case it! My original thought was something on this order but I didn't want to do anything like yours because mine would pale by comparrison, but I do have to do something similar because this is one of my all time favorite looks... love silhouettes, and butterflies... so this just has to be one of my all time favs ever by anyone!
