Tangerine Grove Fun Fold for Creative Creases #109

It's time for the start of a new challenge over on the Creative Creases Challenge blog, and for my DT card this month, I thought I would try a fun fold I saw on Di's Den For Stamping's YouTube channel called a Double VW Card. If you'd like the measurements and instructions, here's a link to Di's video: #328 (25) Double VW Card. 

To start my card, I wanted to create a purple panel for some of the card layers. I recently purchased a Hero Arts Mixed Media kit, and there was some lovely Purple Glimmer Metallic Ink in it that I mixed with water and added to a large panel of watercolor paper by Your Paper Insider. After that dried, I sprayed the panel in various places with Villainous Potion Distress Spray Stain. I let that dry and stamped and die cut the large image from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Tangerine Grove project kit using another piece of YPI watercolor cardstock. I then used the coordinating stencils to ink blend the image with inks from Altenew's Whispering Woodland, Shades of Purple, and Warm & Cozy ink families. 

I chose some deep purple cardstock and created the card base and fun fold panels. Then I trimmed all the layers according to Di's measurements but added a few additional layers where I stamped my sentiments. The sentiments are from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Splendid Bouquet set. The foliage on the inside panel is from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Honeycomb Haven set. The embossing on the front panels is also from the Honeycomb Haven set. It comes with a beautiful 3D honeycomb embossing folder. I added 3 gem sparkles from Altenew's Black Onyx Gem Sparkle set.
