Patties Creations Challenge - RED, WHITE and BLUE

It's time for another challenge at Patties Creations Challenge.
Challenge #47 is such a super challenge with the theme RED, WHITE AND BLUE. As I have Dutch roots (my mom), and Pattie has this gorgeous image in her store called Wooden Shoes with Tulips,
I decided to do the Dutch red, white and blue colours. You know I love to try out different card folds, so when I saw another card made up with a unique fold, of course I had to try it out. And, what's more the template is on a Dutch card making site!! Now howz that for all coming together!! If you want to see the template ('trapjeskaart') take a look HERE. My first attempt was a bit of a mess, but my second attempt folded much neater. I coloured the image with my Spectrum Noire pens and added a few highlights with a white gel pen. The words were created on my 'puter, flowers created with 2 punches, and a normal doily added as a decoration behind the image. I'm very happy with the way the card turned out.
