The whole centre flap flips up and the sentiment/verse goes inside. I saw this card fold on the Cheery Lynn blog and got the instructions off Youtube. It's called the Magic Card Fold and usually the edges are done on the flaps using a decorative punch, but I had some pretty lace with silver in it to use. I cut the orchid pieces from watercolour paper and used Copic R81 and RV00 on the base of each petal. I wanted the pink to be very subtle and the watercolour paper helped by absorbing the colour. I then painted white Perfect Pearls on to further subdue the pink and give it some shine. The b'ground paper is embossed and then I rubbed Platinum Planet Brillance ink over it. The back side of the side panels match. I used the Cheery Lynn Princess window frame and cut it and covered it with silver EP and Utee.
