Up-Lifting Sentiment

Hello, hope you are well. The weather is pretty dismal her in the UK, rain and more rain. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges. Melanie has chosen U is for Up-Lifting - to add a positive/encouraging sentiment to your card. We could all at some time need a little up-lifting thoughts. To see the inspirational cards from the design team, please visit the blog. 

We currently have a design team call for one or two interested crafters to join the team. All details are on the blog. I look forward to hearing from you.

I decided the sentiment was so important - Smile- it looks good on you, so I kept the card fairly simple. a 5 "yellow mat added to a 6" white card. To this I added a piece of light weight card from a 12" sheet of pretty Ciao Bella paper. I thought this was enough to convey the message. Have fun crafting.

For my card, it began as an 8" sq. card, and finally measured 5" x 7" I believe it is called a Dutch style card, maybe you can help me with the correct title for this fun fold. All of the fancy papers, the elephant topper style designs are from a Hunkydory Picture Perfect Paper Pad -  Splash of Colour. The plain blue background paper is from a Duo-tone Mattastic Paper Pad, also from Hinkydory. I enjoyed making this folded card, it was my first attempt but I'm sure I'll be making it again. I was surprised how easy it was.
