To create the inside of this card I cut a piece of patturned paper the same size as the card, and then folded it in half, and then in half back on itself. You cannot see it well here, but the patturn is facing towards the card. I used more pretty paper cut into pieces and covered the white side. (yes I could've used double sided paper, but this gives it a rather nice solid weight.)
The decoupage Smirk charater was stuck onto panel 2 and 3 of the insert while it was flat; allowing me to cut around the flowers on the 3rd panel with a knife. When folded these then stand out and are backed with patturned paper.
Last tip: when you stick the insert into your card, do so with the insert folded and ensure that the character does not poke out the side. This leaves you with a gap either side of your insert which you then decorate.
