The "Flowering Zinnias" designer paper is so bright, colorful, and cheery! To accompany the paper that I chose for this card, I stamped three zinnias from the "Simply Zinnia" stamp set, colored them with alcohol markers, and then cut them with a coordinating die. A white gel pen was used to add highlights to the center of the flowers, which I think enhanced the depth and brightness of the coloring.
This side-step card is the easiest one that I've ever made. It required none of the awkward cuts and scoring that are usually necessary to create a card like this; instead, you only need two pieces of cardstock to create it. The main card is 5-1/2" x 8" and scored at 1, 2, and 5 inches. The tall stand-up panel is 3-1/4" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4". As you can see in the above photo, I adhered the stand-up panel before adhering the strip of designer paper across the bottom front "step".
The stand-up panel is adhered at the bottom front and the bottom of the card back.
The right portion of the card had a wider space--perfect for the sentiment label.
It's a fun design, huh?
