I love this adorable image from Di's Digi Designs which makes me think of a taxi ride for a hedgie. This little girl pulling her garden cart is so sweet.
I colored with ProMarkers and watercolor pencils, then cut the image with a Gina Marie die. I layered the image onto the top portion of the pink CS, and scored it twice to make the Z fold. I took the white confetti CS (5 3/4" x 11"), scored it twice, and folded it into a larger Z fold. The largest part (below the middle fold) is 5 3/4" x 5 3/4", making it a square card when all is folded together. It will fit perfectly into a 6" x 6" envelope.
I put the two Z fold pieces together, using double sided tape first at the top of the card, then folded them up together to determine where the bottom of the pink CS should be. Once I had that, I removed the covering strip from the double sided tape on the bottom of the pink CS and pressed them together.
I tied a bow tie bow from a bit of leftover lace, wrapping the center with satin ribbon and I added that to the bottom of the pink CS. I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and added it to the bottom of the inside Z fold.
It took me a little experimenting to figure out how to do the Double Z fold but I quite like it and will undoubtedly do more of them.
(Edited to add: As I was adding the challenge links to this, one of my grandkids told me I could have searched PINterest or YouTube for instructions on Z fold cards but I didn't think of that when I was making it. I checked and both of those are filled with instructions. lol Check them out if you think you might be interested in doing one of these. :-D )

I did something new for me - a Double Z Fold card.
Here's a side view photo to show how the two pieces are put together.
