My measurements are a different than the actual attachment to show off more of the designer paper.
Black border panels are: square - 2 5/8”, narrow panels - 1 ¾” wide
All panels but the blacks are ink distressed and tool distressed. For the square and long narrow panels I use cardstock glued to the back side of the panel to keep the depth even on the card; foam squares are too thick.
The middle round flower is also raised using the cardstock then all the cut out pieces are glued to the card.
Artist brush and re inkers are used for coloring the flowers and leaves.
Water brush/aqua painter and pad ink colored the butterflies.
I used direct to paper technique (rub the cardstock in the ink pad) to color the edge of the designer paper after tool distressing because it has a white core.

Looks like you have really outdone yourself on this one -- I saw the total comments and thought I better get mine in before you break the bank!! Actually I can't say anything more than everybody else did -- this is a one-of-a-kind stunning and gorgeous card. Congratulations on getting the recognition, which is well-deserved!!
