ABC Challenge Z is for ...

This week's challenge is to make a Zig zag card, and the DT have excelled themselves.
This is the card I have made my lovely, very special friend, Samantha for her Wedding on Sunday. So no peeking Samantha!!

It has been a labour of love and a bit of an experiment!! So I apologise now for the amount of photos ... I am really pleased with the results, as for once an off the cuff idea has been really successful!!
The front uses a Magnolia wedding image coloured in promarkers and copics. I added flowers nad pearls and a punched scalloped edge. I followed the Just Magnolia sketch for it.

And the wallet with tag, and sentiment.
And the other side!
I adore this Magnolia Bride and bridesmaid image .. I have no idea what colours Samantha has chosen so went for blues!
Another view of the bride and bridesmaid and wallet. I am also entering it for the Wild Orchid Crafts challenge Say it with Flowers, as plenty of WOC roses on this..

A quick how I made the card ....

I cut 2 pieces of card 16 cm x 24 cm and scoreed at 12 cm on the long side.
I put them togeter so the left panel of 1 overlapped the right panel of the other, and stuck it down.
So it now looks like this - 3 panels each side.
And standing up!
I made to wallets using an envelope as a template and made smaller ones in the dp.

Here are the wallets made up.
I placed the wallet onto co-ordinating cardstock.
And here is the wallet attached inside the card.
