Double Z Fold Feel Better Soon Card

One of my best friends recently had back surgery, and I wanted to make a special card for her. I saw Susan Campfield's Trellis Double Z Fold Card here: Linked Together Trellis Double Z Fold Card and modified her card a bit to create mine.

I wanted to use the challenge colors from Altenew's Monthly Inspiration Challenge, so I watercolored 3 sheets of watercolor paper using the following colors from Altenew's Watercolor 36 Pan Set: Coral Berry, Emerald, Warm Sunshine, and Fresh Lemon. After they had dried, I die cut Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: African Daisies set and added a little inking on the flowers before assembling them with Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape. 

I created the card base using white cardstock and then created the insert piece using the cardstock I had watercolored with a mix of Warm Sunshine and Fresh Lemon watercolors. I die cut a fence die cut from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Rustic Charm set using Rose Gold metallic cardstock and then embossed it using the coordinating embossing folder from that set. I die cut the rings around the flower centers using that same metallic cardstock. 

I used the watercolor paper I had watercolored with the Coral Berry to stamp and die cut the "Feel better soon" sentiment from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations set. 

I added my fence and flowers to the top panel of my insert piece using a mix of Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam tape and Art Glitter glue. Then I adhered the insert to the card base and added the sentiment and some of Altenew's Emerald City Gem Sparkles.
