Shaped contour card by Natalie Ballard

This card uses a base measuring 7x14" to first create a tri-fold card; score it at 4 ⅔" from each end. Align the main image from Floral Paraphernalia to the left hand fold panel. You want to use a good strong black ink pad such as Memento so you get a good clean impression. With a pencil, sketch a rounded scallop edge around the stamped image's right hand edge. When you are happy with the outline, cut this edge. Trace this cut edge onto a piece of pink card and trim the line the inside of the front panel.

Stamp the porthole image onto yellow card from the Floral Paraphernalia Elements stamp set. The leaf needs to be stamped onto a deep turquoise cardstock and the flower onto a raspberry to match the shaped liner. Fussy cut out these elements and then assemble the piece by wrapping the images around the porthole. Adhere to the front of your card.

Moving onto the right hand fold panel, slightly trim the edge and line with the same pink card. Stamp another of the flower images onto pink card and trace the inner curve of the porthole onto the bottom right petals. Trim as above. Stamp the porthole directly onto the flap and then adhere the flower into the porthole.
