Half sheet c/s size
The salted background technique was used on the lighter portion of this card.
Directions by Beth Warner are linked here: Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
The hearts are punched out and I use a long straight pin with a touch of glue on the tip to pick up the hearts and place them on the card. Decorative scissors are used to cut strips that I also glued in place. I also glue the antennas down to the card. The butterfly is attached with double sided tape only on the butterfly body, not wings.
I made two of these card designs and mailed out to a couple SCS.

I am one of the SCS's that got one of these cards, and oh my gosh, it is so scrumptious in person... you would not believe how these butterflys look, they are gorgeous and the cutting around them is so exact. Excellent work,,, I love the coloring on the whole card, Thank you, Roxi, for sharing your beautiful card with me.
