Supply List for Forever Fern Fun Fold Card

To create the leaves on this card front. I inked the stamp with Old Olive ink and touched the edges with Pretty Peacock ink. Then, I used a Stampin' Spritzer to spritz the stamp before stamping the leaves on the piece of Basic White cardstock. 

Fun Fold Birthday Card

This z fold birthday card uses the same dimensions as above, but this time, I used the Hot Dog stamp set and the Playful Pets pattered paper. I colored the dog and balloon with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. The dog is colored with Gray Granite and then I colored over it with the Color Lifter Stampin' Blend. This created the mottled look of the dog's fur. I tied a bow with the Playful Pets ribbon and attached it under the front image.

DragonFly Garden Fun Fold Card

My last sample card idea for this z fold card design uses the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Dandy Garden patterned paper. I stamped the wild flowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Because the images are so small, I didn't really do any shading on these images. I just carefully added a little Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Mossy Meadow, and Light Calypso Coral.
