Diamond Z Fold with Coneflowers

Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have a very simple card for you.  It is a Z Fold adorned with Spellbinders Susan's Garden Echinacea S4-1437 from her Summer Solstice Collection.

Card base was cut from black cardstock cut 12" X 6" scored at 3" and 6" folded on score lines mountain fold and valley fold.  I  cut 2pc of deep pink cardstock 2-3/4" X 5-3/4" and 1 pc 5-3/4" square then adhered to card base.  Next I cut 2 pc of patterned paper 2-1/2" X 5-1/2" and 1 pc 5-1/2" square and adhered to pink cardstock.  Next I used Spellbinders Essential Diamonds S5-525 to cut 2 diamonds from white cardstock using largest die then I used largest and next to the largest nested together to cut 2 thin frames.  I stamped sentiment on 1 of the white diamonds then adhered the frames to both white diamond pieces.  with card closed I added liquid adhesive to just the left half of back of diamond then adhering to center of card being very careful there was no adhesive on any of right half.  Next I added adhesive to back of diamond with sentiment on it lined it up with diamond on front of card and closed card making sure they were completely lined up.

From Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper I cut 3 Echinacea flowers colored then shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  I followed Susan's YouTube video to create the flowers it can be found here.  I arranged the flowers and leaves to the front diamond.

Thanks for stopping by I do hope I have inspired you to make your own creations.

Until next time - Happy Creating!
