Lily of the Vally Double Z Fold

 We are using the brand new bundle - Lily of the Valley - in Club next month. It is really gorgeous!  I'm getting a head start on our projects, as I'm heading to Fargo next week, and won't be able to take any stamping stuff with me! I took my inspiration for this one from Cheri's Cards.  Its a Double "Z" Fold that uses the new Valleys in Bloom DSP, the cool Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder, and awesome Lily of the Valley Bundle! It is really gorgeous IRL! All products are from the new May-August Catalog!

Measurements:  

• Garden Green: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
• Granny Apple Green: 3 1/4" x 9 1/2"
• Lemon Lime Twist: 1 1/2" x 3 1/4"
  
• Basic White: 2 pcs @ 3" square, scraps
• Valleys in Bloom DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (small Lily print), 3" square (lg Lily print), 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 4" (1 - sprigs, 1 - corner of border)

To Make This Card:

• Score Garden Green base at 2 3/4" - 5 1/2". Crease, well into "Z" fold.
  
• Adhere largest DSP piece to the "back", and the other 2 pieces to the "Z". Set aside.
• Next, score the Granny Apple Green piece at 3 3/16" from each end. Accordion fold, and crease well.
• Take the 2 White squares and Emboss with new Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder.  I selected areas that had the Lily of the Valley.  Note: if you want a sentiment on the inside White piece, stamp sentiment in Memento Black ink, before you emboss! (I forgot to do this!)
• Now, adhere the "plain" White embossed piece to the front section, larger "lily" print to the next section, and the stamped, embossed piece to the last one.
• Add adhesive to the wrong side of the Granny Apple Green square and center on the inside back and adhere.
• Close card and adhere the front of the Granny Apple Green piece to the front.  I used Tear n Tape for this.
• Next, die cut one decorative piece from Lemon Lime Twist. Carefully cut in half and tuck under the outside and inside corners of the Granny Apple Green piece.
• Now, die cut  one "Lily of the Valley Sprig" from the coordinating die in White.
• Stamp small Lily of the Valley image in Memento Black ink, and cut out with corresponding die.
• Color the leaves of the small image with Granny Apple Green Blends. the small flowers are tinted with a Q-Tip and Blackberry Bliss ink.
• The die cut Lily of the Valley Sprig is also colored with a Granny Apple Blend on the stem. The small flowers are colored with a Sponge Dauber and Blackberry Bliss ink.
• Add Wink of Stella to all flowers, if desired.
• Attach the die cut "sprig" to the front with Multipurpose Glue, and the small, stamped "sprig" to the front with Dimensionals.
• If desired, add sentiment to the front.  I used the sentiment from Scalloped Wishes punched out with the Triple Banner Punch.
• Finish with scattered, new Shimmering Dots! And, a double White Twine bow.
