Z FOLD CARD

Two current challenges have a fun fold card as the focus - Die Cut Divas and Creative Creases.  Can't remember if I ever have made one so had to do a little research for the exact scorings.

Since I wanted my flower to be the focus, I used a smaller square die for it's base.  The flower is a discontinued one called Fantasy Floral from Altenew, the enamel dots are called Martian Terrain, the leaves are my favorite green, Reindeer Moss, also from Altenew and the embossed panels are Curving Leaves.  My card is rather a simple fun fold compared to all the designs on Creative Creases but I had fun making it.

 Thanks for stopping by.

 

 
 

HUGS

I am in love with the small flowers and leaves in Altenew's Houseplants dies and so used them again for my current TicTacToe Challenge #276 post.  I went down the left side with any shape die, any color and friendship.

 

Besides the Houseplants sides, I used Spellbinders Arches dies and their Cross My Heart embossing folder.  I blended a little fossilized amber in the centers of the flowers and added a few enamel dots from Hero Arts.  I layered up the "hugs" four times for nice dimension!

I hope you'll join in our #276 challenge - it runs from 31 July to 14 August.

BLUE FLOWERS

I was playing around with some blue flowers today and decided to use the same design for the basic background as I did for my previous card - makes life easy not thinking up new stuff all the time!

The flowers are from The Greetery - Sunflower Botanicuts and I used leaves from Spellbinders Blooms.  The background is from SSS - Vine Canopy; frame MFT Stitched Frame; and enamel dots Hero Arts.  Will add a sentiment when the time comes to send to someone special.

 

YELLOW FLOWERS

For some reason, I don't enter many of the challenges that I always joined for so many years.  But today I came across Color Hues Challenge and Bonnie had suggested yellow and green.  Yellow is not one one of my "go to" colors (I very rarely wear yellow either).  So I created a card this afternoon in yellow and green!!

I began with SSS Vine Canopy embossing folder.  Then used an old stitched rectangle die with foam tape to lift it up at bit.  The flowers and leaves are from Altenew's Houseplants set and the sentiment is no longer available.  I used fossilized amber distress oxide to give the flowers a little depth and added yellow enamel dots from Hero Arts.  I used Altenew's Reindeer Moss cardstock for the leaves - it's my favorite "go to" green!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

PRETTY PINK PLANT

Wouldn't it be lovely to have this pretty plant sitting on your patio?   Fortunately tho, it can sit on your mantle or a table.  I created my card today for the current TicTacToe Challenge with the prompts flowers, layers and foliage.

Altenew's houseplants dies and their brick wall embossing folder were used on my card.  Shading was done with distress oxides for some depth.  As you can see it's a gate fold card.

Our challenge ends on 17 July so hope to see your card(s) there in the next few weeks.
