Instructions: The ready Z Fold card from white card stock measures 6″ by 7 1/2″. To prepare the card base, cut a smooth white cardstock measuring 12″ by 7 1/2″. Score the longer side first at 3″ and next at 6″. Crease and fold the card neatly. Choose the papers from the designer paper collection of French Cottage Collection and chop the paper panels for all front and back panels. Make sure the panels are 1/16″ smaller so that it creates a delicate border all around the card base. Once the card base is ready, keep it aside and start working on the focal images.

Stamp the required images from the same collection with black archival ink and paint them using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Cut all the images using their coordinating dies.

For flowers, Stamp multiple flowers of both sizes using Coffee archival ink on deluxe flower shaping paper and cut them using its coordinating dies. Color the flowers using Archival ink Plum and Sunflower and then highlight the color by adding a touch of Cactus Flower. Shape the flowers using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and add Prills to the center, using an adhesive that dries clear. For foliage, stamp the required image and cut it using its coordinating die and color them using Leaf Green and Fern Green Archival Inks. Shape them using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.

Once all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown, creating a scenic view. Finish the card by adding a sentiment from Just For You Sentiment Stamp Set and a tag cut using Ticket and Tag Die.
