The Art Impressions Tri-fold cards are SO CUTE.
When you first see the design, it can be slightly confusing on how to create the card. Today I am going to show you step by step how to create this beautiful effect!!
You will need one of the tri-fold sets. I decided to use this set from Art Impressions (Left), Blessings to You.

Along with the stamp set, you will also need:
A home die cut machine
Tombo markers in varying colors
Waterbrush
Pop dots
Acetate
Black waterproof stamp ink
White paper

First, you will need a piece of paper , measuring 4 1/4" x 11, score it so it folds into thirds, so roughly at 3 1/2" and about 7 1/4"
Then, stamp your images, one on the inside on the middle panel, the next stamp on the OUTSIDE of the right panel, and the last stamp on the OUTSIDE of the left panel and use the die cuts (which are included in this set) to create the little peek-a-boo window.
Then, use the pop dots to create dimension. I used 4 little pop dots in total, using 2 on the right side and 2 on the left side of the image with the lavendar sprig. This helps create that dimension.

I also stamped the image with the roses on a second piece of white paper. I cut them out to create a grouping that leans left and a grouping that leans right.
Next, I prepared to watercolor. Take the piece of acetate and color directly on it with your markers. Use the waterbrush to add a little bit of water to activate the color.. then watercolor like normal!
*To create the darker colored areas I just colored directly onto the paper and used the waterbrush to blend it in. *
After I painted the 2 rose bunches, I attached the groupings to the pop dots so that they are covered up.

Watch as the little bunny comes to life as you fold your card! Now he truly is hiding in his little burrow <3
