Hello and welcome to the Stampin with Friends blog hop where we are sharing Z fold cards. The card I made using the gorgeous Painted Lavender stamp set and co-ordinating Perennial Lavender dsp is for the special birthday of a special friend later this month and I am giving her a lavender plant as part of her present as she loves her garden.

Colours in this card are:

Next I started to decorate the remaining panels of Basic White card beginning with the largest.  I inked up the spray of lavender blooms with Highland Heather ink and added some Gorgeous Grape using a Stampin’ Write Marker. This image was then stamped at the top, left hand side of the panel. The stems were stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

The number 60 was die cut from scrap Gorgeous Grape card using the Alphabet A La Mode dies. I stamped each number 4 times and glued them one on top of the other using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This gave some dimension to the number. The number were then added to the panel using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small strip of Pretty Peacock card, covered with white embossing powder and heat set. I flagged the ends with scissors and added the banner, over the numbers with a Dimensional on both ends.

Using washi tape I secured the 5½” by 3⅜” panel of Basic White card to my Glass Mat. The first mask was positioned on top and held in place with more washi tape.

I used a Blending Brush to ink through the mask with Calypso Coral ink. This lays down a basic layer of colour. Using  mask number 3, Poppy Parade ink and a Blending Brush I added the detailed layer of ink to the flowers.
