Measurements: (these include the outside white border) paisley 2 ¾” wide, stripe 1 ¼ x 4”, image panel 2 5/8 x 2 1/16”
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used for coloring the images.
The top flower is cut out and two ¼” punch out of cardstock were glued to each petal and center for dimension.
-The stems on are free hand.
-Nestabilities for the scallop panel, Martha Stewart for the butterflies.
-Art Glitter adhesive were applied to the white of the flowers and on the butterflies, then glitter added.
-Embossed butterflies: I use a metal ball stylus to score the front then flip it over and move the ball in circles staying away from the edge and where I scored the front. I use a folded paper towel as a cushion.

Just beautiful Roxi! Love every detail! I love embossing leaves, butterflies, etc that are otherwise flat... it helps sooo much to add depth and interest! These are great!

Wow, Roxi, today's sketch has brought out a gallery full of gorgeous work. I took me 2 hours to comment today and I wish I could have left a comment for every single artist today! It was just not possible with the schedule! Anyhoo, thanks for continually sharing your talent of great sketches, and very inspirational sample designs. YOU ROCK!
