score both at 3/4, 1 3/4. 3 3/4 and 4 3/4

take 2 White cardstock scored to make side folding 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2 size card.(DO NOT use thick cardstock for this project)

with one add a 4x 5 1/4 piece of crumbcake and mount using tape to the outside margins only and diecut a circle from the white and crumbcake panels. - Here I used Spotlight on Nature dies (but any simple shape die will work- even if irregular will work too for this project) 

emboss the crumbcake panel after cutting with So Swirly but Soft Waves embossing folder would be really great for this.

stamp the seagull with french fries, the distant seagulls and gravel onto the white circle panel you diecut (keept the crumbcake piece for another project)  use blender brush to add some color to the sky - here I used pool party and crumbcake for the sand)

take the second white cardstock and score in between the center fold 2 1/8 inch from each end. 

Glue the left panel of the second white basecard to the the right half of the back of the white panel with the circle diecut out ( from the scored center to the half way out) - make sure to put the glue only on the back panel with the circle cut out and no glue on the open area..

the far right panel of the second white cardstock will be glued to the inside far right side of the first panel with the circle diecut.

so when you open the card there will be the circle opening on the left and a W fold in the center.

Here I used the poppy parade cardstock embossed with zinnia folder and a piece of zinnia DSP bordered with a sliver of gold peeking .after I stamped the flowers on the scrap white and coloring it in I used the poppy parade stampin blends to color in the outside- I have a pet peeve about the white border showing- so I usually use white background so it will not show...

Embossing folders add such texture to the background I really love it! More often than not I will add some embossing folder texture instead of leaving it plain.
