Floral Waves Zigzag card

Good evening,

I couldn't resist making another Zigzag card and had to try out a beautiful collection by The Paper Boutique called Floral Waves. 8x8 papers come with an embellishment pad, insert papers and plain background card.  I've had them a few weeks but have been far too busy to even think about cutting into them. 

Just to change it up a little I reversed the folds. For this card, all I used was one A4 sheet of background card to mat onto a white base and one A4 insert. I will add a sentiment and personalise it before sending. The template is linked to the previous post. 

Let me know which way you prefer.

Zigzag card



Hi everyone,

I'm back with a new card fold that is really easy but effective. I've called it my zigzag card. Here it is decorated with the gorgeous new Sara's Signature Vintage Diary papers from Crafters Companion and it's another of my Design Team samples that I made for the launch of this Collection. 



I've added the ink pot die, cut in black card with added gilding wax.  The quill pen has been lightly inked and the edges of the papers have been blended to match the amount of distressing on the two different sized papers chosen.  The frame has been cut from 12 x 12 papers with the central design from the smaller paper pad.

On the centre panel is also a wooden corner embellishment from the collection and I've stamped one of the sentiments using the Adorning Sentiments.



Materials I used:

Crafters Companion 300gsm stamping card
Crafters Companion Black card
Crafters Companion textured card
Sara's Signature Vintage Diary 6 x 6 papers
Sara's Signature Vintage Diary 12 x 12 papers
SSVD Adorning Sentiments Photopolymer stamps
SSVD Feathered Quill dies
SSVD Wooden Frame and Corners
Spectrum Noir Harmony Water Reactive Ink - pink tulip
Collall all purpose glue


I was inspired to make this card and template after seeing an image by Ewa S. whom I have been unable to contact.
