Measurements:
IΒm measuring a little different this week due to 32nd of an inch border in case itΒs hard for you to figure out; some players had a problem in the past.
-Image panel Β 1 ΒΎ x 3 3/8Β, cut the yellow border piece 3/16Β larger (which makes it a 3/32Β border) cut the aqua border piece 2 ΒΌ x 3 7/8Β (which is 5/32Β border)
-Trellis panel Β 1 7/16Β and the border piece was cut 3/16Β bigger (the two together is 1 ΒΎΒ)
-Leaf panel Β Over all it is 3 Β½ in height and 3 ΒΎΒ in width (which goes under the image panel 1 ΒΌΒ) and the designer paper was cut 3/16Β smaller which allowed for a 3 /32Β border
I hope that isnΒt to confusing!
-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. I sometimes use a Coluzzle template and craft knife to cut between the images but what was needed was so small that I just used the scissors.
-The two daisies with yellow centers were cut out and popped up using scrap paper in place of foam. I also used a black marker to hide the white on the edge; I put this color on from the back just in case the marker should slip.
Tools: Martha Stewart Β fence border punch, Stampin Up Β mat pack, Bazzill piercer (for brads), paper stumps, scissors

gorgeous card! Does baby oil really work as well as gamsol? I ran out and didn't want to have to try and find some at an art store since most places only carry turpentine/oid and that isn't the same thing.
