Prairie Grass Z-Fold

I was looking for an "inspiring" idea using the new Prairie Grass stamp set in the Online Store. I came across this sample created by one of my downline, Susie Wood. Isn't it great!? I love the ombre "sun" behind the "grass"! And, it's so easy to do! It's been paired with 2 new InColors (now on sale), Cloud Cover and Secret Sea! Did you notice the "sparkly" splatter? It's Wink of Stella!

Measurements:

Cloud Cover (N): 1/2 sheet
Secret Sea (N): 3 1/4" x 5 1/4", 1" x 4" (label)
Basic White: 3" x 5" (focal point), 3 3/4" x 5" (inside), 3/4" x 3 1/2" (label), 3" square (template for "sun")
Florals in Bloom DSP (N): 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" (Cloud Cover stripe)

To Make This Card:

Score card base @ 1 3/4" - 4 1/4". Accordion Fold, creating a "Z" fold. Crease well.
Adhere strip DSP to front, near fold. Set base aside.
Now, stamp largest "grass" onto White "focal point". I stamped mine in Memento Black, but I stamped everything else in Secret Sea, so I would probably try that for the "grass" as well.
Take the 3" of White, and punch a 2" circle in the center.
Center over focal point, where desired, and burnish Timid Tiger and Crushed Curry into opening with Small Blending Brushes.
Flick some Wink of Stella over the "sun" with the "template" still in place. Remove template.
Adhere White piece onto Secret Sea layer. Then, add to front flap of "Z" fold. Centering over all.
Next, stamp sentiment in Secret Sea onto label. Adhere to Secret Sea label, then "flag" the left side.
Adhere to card, over "grass" with Dimensionals.
For the inside White piece, stamp sentiment in Secret Sea ink, as well as one of the other "grasses".
Finish the front with a knot of Secret Sea ribbon, and a Secret Sea flat pearl.
