Fancy Fold

Good Morning

Today's card is a 'Z' fold design.  

It is fun to change it up now and again and this fold is not complicated at all to do.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by getting my card base ready, a standard A2 size card base that was 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" when folded.  I scored and folded the front side panel in half. It creates a 'Z' fold card. Next, I went in search of the papers I wanted to use and cut them to size to create the back and front pieces.
• I found this green print that I had done with Distress Oxide inks on my Gel Plate...I don't know what colours I used so I'm going to guess...Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint.  I just rub the ink pad directly onto the plate, use a brayer to smooth it out and then press my paper over to lift the print.
• I took another piece of white cardstock, placed it into my Misti and randomly stamped the leaves from the Many Thanks set.  This set is a 2 part so I used the same colours as above to fill them in.
• There was still a lot of white space so I used the end of a pencil eraser to add the dots.  The finished size of this panel was 4 x 3 1/4".
• I glued the leaves panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto the front fold of my card. **Be sure to just add glue to the left hand side of the panel you are adding so the right side is not glued and your card will open. **
• I stamped the sentiment onto some black cardstock using some Versamark ink and white heat embossed it.  I popped that over the leaves.

Here is what the card looks like open.

(my brayering wasn't the best!)

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
