Staggered Z-Fold Card - Birthday

 This is such an easy card to make - it looks far more difficult than it really is! 

I used some papers from my stash that have an alcohol inked pattern on them. The patterns are simply beautiful. I cut the pieces so the pattern would continue down the staggered sections. Since there were a few colours in the paper, I chose the pink and aqua shades to stencil my hot foiled floral image. That was added to the front of the card and I used a hot foiled sentiment at the bottom. Some gold gems were added to finish off the card. There is a place on the back to write a message. 

This is actually the second card that I created in this style and I added a gold foil border around each of the patterned paper pieces. The original card is further down. 

Enjoy,
