I made one of these folded cards a couple of years ago, after seeing a card by Oregon Stamper. Cool caribbean is cut 9" x 4 1/4", scored at 3 3/8", the yellow is cut 8 1/2" x 3 1/4", scored at 4", the plaid flap folds down and the yellow lifts up. I had stamped a bunch of the flowers, before leaving home, with stazon on watercolor paper, and I used the aquapainter and inks to watercolor. I finished with adding the rhinestones and ribbon. You have to forgive the crooked picture--I need to talk with the photographer--I'm really good at talking to myself!

I like the way the plaid sets off the flower ~ TFS!
