The Purple Coneflower is colored first with sponge daubers (Pink Pirouette & Chalk Petal Point Burnt Sienna) and markers (Certainly Celery & Old Olive), then for added dimension and color I used Prismacolor Pencils. For the grass stamp I used Certainly Celery, and then brayered the bottom with Certainly Celery and Old Olive, then sponged with Always Artichoke and Kiwi Kiss. The top of the flower panel is brayered with Bashful Blue.
For the Old Olive layer (after cutting out the oval) I brayered the embossing folder with Old Olive ink and then highlighted the embossed areas with white shimmer chalk. The butterflies are PTI Spring Moss and shimmer sprayed. The panel is mounted over the flower image on dimensionals.
The card base is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.

Wow! I can't stop staring at this card, it is so beautiful. It's very life-like, I love your colours and my absolute favourite of any Cuttlebug folder I've seen - tfs!
