Beautiful Gallery Gatefold Pop-Up Card

My aunt shared this beautiful card with me using the Beautiful Gallery DSP. She wondered how it was made. I decided to do a little investigating. Little did she know that she was showing me the wrong side of this card, which while interesting, is not as pretty as the front! I have actually seen quite a few of this design of card, but none as pretty as this one! The focal point on the inside arch, is my own doing. Takes a little time to prepare, but is really fun to make!

Measurements:

Cloud Cover (N): 4 1/4" x 11"
Secret Sea (N): 4 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 4", 4 pcs @ 2" x 4", 2 pcs @ 3/4" x 4", 1 7/8" x 3 1/8" (#3 arch)

To Make This Card:

Score Cloud Cover Base @ 2 3/4" - 5" - 6" - 8 1/4". Make a "valley" fold, 2 "mountain" folds, and a "valley" fold. Crease well.
Layer all DSP to Secret Sea layers.
Then, adhere larger pieces to front and back of Cloud Cover Base.
Next, adhere the 4 medium pieces to the front and back, and then the center pieces.
Die cut the 3 White arches in the sizes given, as well as the Secret Sea arch.
Layer the smallest White and Secret Sea together. Add desired sentiment in Secret Sea ink, and then adhere to back side as shown.
I stamped a "sprig" to the next-size White Arch in Secret Sea. and adhered it, as shown. It just fits.
For the front Focal Point. Stamp largest flower image from the Charming Day stamp set in Memento Black onto piece of White. Color with Blends as shown. Die cut with corresponding die.
Adhere to largest arch. Stamp desired sentiment in Secret Sea. and then add to front 1".
