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!]

• 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 .
