CASEing Doris

Happy Monday, peeps!  Hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I received a pretty card in the mail from my friend Doris, and I thought I would re-create one of my own.  I had this panel of watercolor paper already on my desk; I was playing with the stamp set Flower Patch and my aquapainter, and when I saw Doris's card, I thought it would be a good way to put this little panel to use!  I think it is called a Z-fold:

It's a little tricky to photograph, but here is the card folded:

I stamped the florals in Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach and Crushed Curry; the leaves are Pear Pizzazz.  I stamped them on watercolor paper, then just swooshed a wet aquapainter around the edges to draw a wee bit of the ink out.  Some speckles, enamel dots and a sentiment from a fall Paper Pumpkin kit finished it off.  And here's the inside, using the SAB DSP Carried Away and a sentiment from Suite Sentiments:

Basically, you create your card exactly as you would normally, but score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" and fold the first fold back.  Then decorate as you wish!  My angled panel is Pear Pizzazz, and I also stamped the corners with a crackle stamp from another Paper Pumpkin kit!  And here is Doris's pretty card, outside and in!

You should try this fold--it's fun, easy and adds some interest to your card!

A little hike on Saturday before the cold weather returned!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a blessed day!
