Double Z-Fold Floral

 Final day of August, so time to share my card for Die Cut Divas.  Our sponsor this month - Altenew


Our challenge - Z-fold cards.   

My card today is a Double Z-fold.   


I have never made a double Z-fold before, so did some googling - and found many, many video's and tutorials.   This was a fun card to make.  I chose some PP from Rosie's Studio Forever paper pad. Used Altenew's Hello Beautiful Craft Your Life stamp, stencil and die kit.  I used some Grey Denim ink to stamp the largest of the floral images and then used the colouring stencils to add a variety of Altenew pink and green inks.   Die cut the floral bouquet and added to the front of the card.   Die cut the sentiment from Altenew Scripty Sentiment for the front of the card and used a sentiment from Morning Asters stamp set inside. 


I also stamped on the inside panel with the mid-size flower from the Hello Beautiful stamp set.  Used a 2HB black pencil and a blending stump to add a bit of shading.  

Our challenge finishes at 9.00pm Pacific Time on the 31st.  Do come and join us

Two more Floral cards.

 Two more new embossing folders and dies and stencil and die sets.    It was a wet rainy weekend so had some play time with some new stash. 


Used Alinacutle Layered Blooming Flower stencil and die set with some Altenew inks.  Decided that a square card would let me highlight more of the flowers.   The sentiment is a Spellbinders Hot Foil - one of the first I bought.   Drew a frame around the edges. 


This one is a embossing folder with two dies.   I embossed the folder with some white card which I lightly ink blended in some pinks and greens.  I die cut one of the flowers and then embossed it before adding a darker layer of the inks.   Added to the background and then added a foiled sentiment from my "magic mug"   Matted with some pink card and added some of my homemade enamel dots.
