So I saw a fan fold card on Sue Campfield’s Blog HERE, which gave the idea for this version of the card.  As you will see from the video, I put the card layers in two different places…and I probably prefer the positioning from the video.

It’s an easy card to make and would suit any similar image.  The watercolouring is easy to do with the Stampin’ Up Watercolour paper and the ink from the top of the inkpads, and with very little effort you can make a really pretty card.
