Fun Fold Angle Cut Card with Detailed Dogwood & watercolor pencils

I have a new fun fold for you today, at least new to me. I saw Ange McKay make a fun fold very similar to this yesterday, and had to try it. Her card was a tri-fold card and I didn't want to use a whole sheet of cardstock, so I altered it for a bi-fold card that you can make two card bases from one sheet of cardstock. When I made my original sample, I colored my focal image with Stampin' Blends markers. I was then inspired by Linda Dalke to try my hand at some water coloring with the watercolor pencils. I've forgotten how much I love using them. So for this card, I've colored my image with the watercolor pencils. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video replay on YouTube.
