Hey Crafty Friends! I am so excited to be back on the blog to share another fun card with you all today. I had lots of fun making this one as I was very excited to try some sentiment rub-ons. I generally tend to add sentiments with either stamping or die cutting, so this was different for me. I also challenged myself to think outside the box and use a slimline die for a regular A2 size card. I want to challenge you to take a look at your background dies and see if they have any small elements that you could use to stretch your supplies.

To start this project, I selected 4 colors of cardstock from the warms smooth cardstock paper pad. I love these small paper pads because the colors go together perfectly, and I don’t need to dig through multiple paper packs to find colors that pair nicely together. I went with yellow, orange, coral, and red-ish shades. I then die cut each of these using the slimline spring floral die.
Once all my images were die cut, I layered 6 butterfly die cuts, while making sure I had the lighter shade on top. I adhered them in the middle with liquid glue and fluffed up the wings for dimension.
For the sentiment, I trimmed out gorgeous metallic rub on that says “wishing you a wonderful day”. This sentiment is from the card maker sentiments, rub-on transfers, also from scrapbook.com. I applied the rub on to a white A2 size card base.
Next up, I adhered the butterflies along the left edge of my card, in ombre color order. There was a bit more white space than I wanted, so I filled in the gaps by layering up some of the tiny floral die cuts from the same background die.
To complete the card, I added some metallic accents with some Hero Arts gold pearls, both on the butterflies, on the centers of the flowers, and to fill in some of the background.
