Card Catch Up - Happiness

Found this card I had made a while ago and hadn't posted yet.  It was to celebrate a friend's engagement and the happiness she had found.  The card feels simple to me, but with an understated elegance.

The card came together rather quickly.  To create a similiar version,

1. Cut a solid piece of card stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Score the longest side at 4 1/4".  This makes a standard A2 size card (card front is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2").
2. Cut pattern paper to 4" x 5 1/4".  Distress and ink edges. This is Piece A.
3. Fussy cut floral piece from pattern paper.  Ink edges.
4. Adhere to upper right corner of Piece A. 
5. Adhere mat to card front.
6. Cut strip to fit across card front.  Adhere near bottom of card.
7. Ink die cut piece with sentiment.  In this case, {Happiness}.  Adhere on top of strip.
8. Fussy cut butterfly from pattern paper.  Cover with stickles.  Once dry, roll wing edges up.  Adhere only center of butterfly to card with foam tape.

Supplies: Card stock (Bazzill Basics), Pattern papers, die cut (MME), distressor (CM), Walnut Stain distress ink, Rock Candy stickles (Tim Holtz/Ranger), foam tape

TFL and keep creating!
