Z Fold Card in Blues

My card making skills are decidely rusty after my break! It took me two days to make this card! I needed a birthday card for Roy's niece and although I have a few ready made ones, none seemed quite right.

Then I decided to make a Z fold card and it is years since I made one. It took forever to find a paper to go with the flowery pieces which came out of the snippets drawer. Eventually I found a 6x6 piece which was only just big enough to cut all the required pieces out of. The butterflies were cut from the Gummiapian die included in the Easter calendar. I painted them with H2Os, again not used in ages. I picked three colours and randomly dropped them onto the diecuts.  They are quite sparkly in real life. A sentiment and some dots completed it.

Fancy Folds for Allsorts

The challenge this week at Allsorts is Fancy Folds. I had just finished making these two cards for two friends who have birthdays on the same day.

I used the gorgeous new Lemon Lime Twist card together with papers, dies and gold stickers from the Eastern Medallion Suite from SU.

Eastern Medallions Z fold card

I have seen a lot of z fold cards in blogland recently so thought I would have a go at making one for my friend's birthday.

I used the Eastern Medallions suite of papers, stamps and dies from Stampin' Up! which I have had for some time now and never used. I also used Fresh Fig card from the new in colours as well. The card base is Very Vanilla. I am really quite pleased with how it turned out, so hope my friend likes it!
