I am in love with the colour combinations featured in the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper - pairing earthy neutrals with lavender purples and sage greens. These colours were the inspiration for this beautiful divider screen card...

Perennial Lavender 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (162593) - $26.25
12 sheets of patterned paper: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs
The card base is a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock cut at 28 cm x 14.8 cm, scored every 7 cm. I have punched the bottom edges with the side of the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch to create a divider screen fun-fold card design. I used two gorgeous patterned paper designs from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper pack for my card's first and third sections. For the other two sections, I have adhered panels with Pretty Peacock cardstock matted underneath. Then, I had some fun with the coordinating Painted Lavender Bundle and Perennial Postage Bundle to stamp and die-cut pretty lavender sprigs and add fun postage-stamp die-cut shapes.
The bunch of lavender on the front of the card is coloured and stamped a little bit differently. I inked the stamp with Fresh Freesia ink, then used a Sponge Dauber to add Gorgeous Grape ink directly into portions of the stamp, and then stamped the two-toned image onto Basic White cardstock. This is an easy and fun technique to add variation to your stamped image. I have used that same technique on another lavender card I shared recently.
How pretty is that lavender! Especially finished with an elegant bow, tied using the Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon. You really can't go past neutrals, purples, and greens as a colour combination!
