Praying for You Z-Fold For Creative Creases #106

It's time for the start of the August challenge over on the Creative Creases Challenge blog today, and I created a variation of a Z-Fold card for my Design Team inspiration this time. I followed the instructions and measurements from Maria Mench's blog post here: The perfectly paired suite for the Fun Folds Blog Hop! - Maria's Crafting Corner. Thanks for the inspiration, Maria!

I was recently a Guest Designer for Your Paper Insider and was given Box 11 to create with, and the papers I used for my card are all from that box. If you are interested in learning more about Your Paper Insider's quarterly subscription box, here's the link: https://yourpaperinsider.com/. I'm not an affiliate, but I highly recommend them. I have enjoyed creating with the 28 papers of different types and weights of 8 1/2 by 11 papers that were in Box 11. The papers I used for my card are: Lavender Glitter Gloss, Pink Floral Sukashi, Cotton Candy Pop Tone, Plum Non-Shed Glitter, Savanna Tindaloo Gmund, and Coffee Cover Reflex for the card base.

This card was mostly just trimming, scoring, and layering the elements. I used a spray adhesive for the Pink Floral Sukashi paper because it's as thin as vellum and I was afraid other adhesives would show through it. 

Once the card layers were adhered, it was time to decorate! I chose Altenew's Creative Cuts: Houseplants Die Set and die cut all the pieces for that and then assembled the cute little pot and leaves and adhered them to the left panel of the card. The flowers on the plant are from Altenew's Fresh Flowers Die Set while the flowers by the sentiment are from the Houseplants Die Set. The "praying for you" sentiment is from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Casual Bouquets set. 

To finish the card, I added a few of Altenew's Whispering Woodland Enamel Dots.
