Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Still a wet, dull, and very cold weekend here in my part of Kent.
I suppose I am lucky I don't live in the North of the Country as some have snow.
We did think about moving to Scotland years ago as we love it there, but thought it would be too much of a journey for our large family to visit.
My Great Grandad on my Dad's side was born in Scotland so it does hold a special place in heart.
Now I do like to try something new every now, and then, and thought I haven't made a Z Fold card yet.
So as my DIL Birthday is looming this is my version of a Z Fold Card.
2 different views of this card .
I made the card 7.5" in Height, and 14" in width out an A3 piece of card.
Did my folds at 4", 3", which left a base card of 7" when folded.
Then I matted it with CE Blush card.
Finally I did a Matt layer of paper from The Paper Boutique Blooming Lovely paper pad which was a C&C club gift.
I cut out some of the roses and decoupaged them, and added some pearls.
Put a border of butterflies cut out of H/D Rose Gold Mirri card.
Made a pocket for a tag with Happy Birthday on.
I just so happened to have the right colour ribbon too.
Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

Oooh me little blogging matey - this is just gorgeous! I had a Christmas card with a fold like this from a friend last year and I loved it. I really must have a go - those colours are so beautiful together and I love that ribbon! Great idea for the little tag as well. Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
What a lovely Z fold card, Jenny! Great papers and I love the roses and pearls. Kisses, my friend.
Looks very complicated Jennie, but has made the most beautiful card. I'm sure it will be loved. The West coast of Scotland has had heavy snow today and it's causing chaos on the roads in and out of Scotland. We love Kent and went for over 15 years to Westbrook nor Margate. Best holidays ever.

Hi Jenny, We had snow today yuck, then thankfully it changed into rain, another yuck !! but for me rain is preferable to snow haha. I will be glad when Winter is over. This is a lovely card, I have never made a Z fold card.
