Default Open-Book Template

Can any one help me with a template - I've been asked by my auntie to make a 70th Wedding Anniversary (can you believe that - amazing) card for her dear friends. I've seen the card that looks like an open book and because of their age (90's) I'm thinking French Script stamp with roses etc and thought the open book card would be perfect - I've googled until my eyes are nearly dropping out and can't find a template anywhere

I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you had in mind, but I did create a kind of paper book that opens could be a card (i made two inserts for mine to make it more "book-like")

Your work is beautiful Melanie, just took a quick look around your blog. I should have included this link originally:

oh, I see! Well it does make me think of another design I did wayyy back9one of my first uploads!), let me find it, it's easy to make if you have the French Script background stamps, evne has a ribbon book mark like in your pic!

Same card, Different Verse by melmel at Splitcoaststampers

you stamp the background stamp at an angle, move it over, then stamp again , and draw a line between each parallel to both like it's laying open...
