Mini Slimline - Right as Rain

Rubbernecker | Die-cut Mini Slimline Scene

Hello! Today, I am sharing a summer-themed, mini-slimline card created with Rubbernecker dies and stamp set. There are a number of occasions for which this card would work.

Create focal elements

Die-cut Beach Chairs and Macrame Planters from white and colored cardstock. (I am fond of Adirondack chairs and have used them as a focal element on many cards!)
Glue pots to rope hangers.

Create frame, sentiment, and background

Die-cut the Mini Slimline Tabbed Scallop Stitch frame from white cardstock.
Stamp and heat-emboss the Just Saying Hello Floral sentiment on green cardstock. Cut with the Slimline Grass Die.

Attach patterned paper background to mini-slimline base. Add to frame assembly.

Assemble and Embellish

Add flowers and foliage to Macrame Planters.
Add Small Butterflies in upper-left corner.
