Cherry on Top...















Aud Sentiments' Thursday Challenge is everyone's favorite - "ANYTHING GOES + add a sentiment".  I decided to try a Quarter Fold Card - here is a tutorial by Jana O'Brien if you are visual, but I do have a simple explanation below.
You of course can do anything for this challenge - and if you need inspiration, check out Aud's Team's creative projects!  Then get crackin' and submit your artwork by Tues, Apr 7 for a chance at the prize of three images from Lacy Sunshine Designs.  [And don't forget the sentiment!]


PROCESS INVENTORY



  • Heather at Lacy Sunshine Designs' provided "Splitz - Cherry on Top Cupcake" for me to work with.  If you like the image or want to explore her store, just click on the link!
  • Sentiment on the lower right is "Fabulous Birthday" by Hero Arts 2007
  • Inside sentiment is "Sweet Delights" by Stampendous

  • PAPERS:
  • Base CS from stash
  • Basic Grey's "Life of the Party" DP used for mats & package
  • Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# Cover Wt. used for the images and sentiments


  • FOLD:
    • Starting with two 8.5 x 11" sheets of CS - may be same or different colors - I used dark purple and white.  You will be cutting each in half in different orientations. Each of these will fold into a regular A2 size card base.
    • Cut one in half the length of the CS at 4.25 x 11" [vertical cut] this will be the back of the card. [white]
    • Double Score [two score lines right next to each other] at 2 3/4" from each tall end 
    • 2nd sheet cut in half horizontally across the width at 8.5 x 5.5 [purple]
    • Double Score at 2 1/8" from each tall end
    • Glue top onto base card making sure it is inside the score lines.
    • Fold each "flap" in like you were closing a box.  See pictures below or Tutorial .








    EMBELLISHMENTS: 
    • Tim Holtz' Die Cut "Distressed Bows" used for the white paper bow on upper right.
    • Little package on lower left created with scrap CS wrapped in the DP & tied with waxed linen cord.
    • Cherry is coated with Glossy Accents
    INKS:
    • Images were printed on an Epson WF-3520 printer 
    • Rubber stamped sentiments used Versafine's "Black Onyx"
    • Image colored with Copics:
    This card should be eligible for the following
