The card is Kraft and A6 sized. I stamped the grass in Creamy Caramel ink onto Very Vanilla CS and then got busy sponging. Before gluing down the panel, I distressed the edges with a Tim Holtz edge distresser tool and attached the ribbon. I punched the butterflies using paper from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection and ran my thumbnail around the butterflies to distress them a wee bit. I used an embossing stylus to pop the wings up and applied teardrop shaped crystals to the butterfly bodies.
I die cut a tag shape, sponged it and then stamped the sentiment. I've applied brown gems over the holes in the tag. Then I stuck a button onto the ribbon. It bothers me a bit as it's a naked button and I usually add thread or ribbon 'cos Julie Ebersole issued the "no nekkid buttons" rule when I took her online card design class! I didn't have the right colour or width of anything so it's remaining nekkid and I'll get over it - and it'll make it easier for me to have a nekkid button another time!
