Serene Silhouettes aperture

I know I promised to show you method 2 for the faux chalk board effect, I'm really sorry but I will show it later in the week as I've got another challenge card to show and the deadline is looming.
For this card I have combined two challenges:
A colour challenge from 
Inkspirational :

Freshly Made Sketch
For pink, banana and slate I chose melon mambo, so saffron and basic grey, this is a combination I have never used before but I really like it! I used Serene Silhouettes stamp set and lots of punches.
Here is my card:
I don't know if you can tell but the circle is actually a window, the photo below should make it clearer:
Here is a close up:
For the butterfly I stamped the image then punched out a butterfly. I also used the simply scored borders plate to emboss some lines at each side of the melon mambo strip;
I really enjoy doing challenges, I am using colour combinations I would never think of, it certainly gets the mojo working! I was really chuffed that the card I made for the last inkspiration challenge was named in the top 5.

  6. Love those colours together and why did I forget that I have the new borders plate?
    Must be losing the plot.
