Hello and welcome to the Stampin with Friends blog hop where we are sharing Z fold cards.

I began by decorating the main Lost Lagoon card base. The panels of Perennial Lavender dsp were glued to the slightly larger Basic White layers which were then adhered to the Lost Lagoon card base.

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.

The next panel was decorated with 2 sprigs of lavender. The base image was stamped in Highland Heather ink and the detailed image added on top on Gorgeous Grape. The flower stalks were the stamped in Lost Lagoon in.

At this point I went back and added the single flying butterfly to all the panels using Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape or Pretty Peacock ink. I also added a lager butterfly to the front panel with Pool Party ink.

The decorated panels were then adhered to the Pool Party base with liquid glue.
The inner Pool Party card was then closed and placed in position on the the closed Lost lagoon card. I adhered the two card bases together.
