This is my card for today's Alphabet Challenge for the letter A (for angled front). This may (or may not) qualify for the double challenge to add black and white stripes to the card. I rather winged it making this card because I have never cut a front away before. I cut the layers first, then placed the top layer in my paper trimmer, found an angle I liked and cut it. Then I took the larger piece and put that in the trimmer and lined it up with the grid lines and cut off 1.5" at the same angle. Then I marked on the 2nd layer what my opening was going to be and used that as a guide to stamp my flowers. I stamped an extra flower and leaf on scrap paper and I fussy cut them out. Once the stamping was completed, I used 5x7 post-it notes to mask off everything but the flowers I wanted to put glitter on. Then used a zig 2-way glue pen to add glue over the flowers and I immediately poured dazzling diamonds glitter on top of the stamped area. Used 2-way glue pen on the extra flower and leaf and added glitter to them as well. Added a narrow strip of black cs to the angled card fronts to highlight the angle a little more. The top panel is mounted on foam tape for some added dimension. This was super fun to do so I made several of these cards. Thanks for looking! ~Karen.
