Measurements: image panel - 2 x 3 ¾” plus 1/8” border, cross panel – ½” wide plus 1/8” border, the sentiment panel is 1 1/2” from the bottom of the card base
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique found in the resources section here at SCS. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol.
-The out of the box feature is very easy by cutting to the image with the regular paper cutter on the front, marking the image on the back while holding to a light source then use the paper cutter again to cut to that mark. Scissor cut the image out. My paper cutter is a guillotine style.
-The top poppy was cut off the image and the stem removed and glued to the green cardstock at the bottom and I cut a piece of the green to put under the top of the image so it lies even on the card.
-Finger walking was done on the image and sentiment panel. Finger walking: ink up the background image and leave it rubber side up on your work space and lay the image panel on the rubber and walk your fingers across the panel so you only get a stamped image on a portion of the cardstock.
-The buckle was given to me along with some tin scraps so I used the Cuttlebug to cut faux brads – I had to run it back and forth a few times to get a complete cut through the metal. They are attached with Diamond Glaze. I don’t know the maker of the buckle.
-All panels are ink distressed.
Tools: Cuttlebug and Tiny Tags die, sponge, corsage pin for attaching the faux brads, paper stumps

Roxi, your card looks fantastic. I love the rich, vintage feel it has. I wish I still had that background. I love the texture it gives.
Hugs and smiles
