{Spotlight Project} Monika Goes Off The Edge

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! i'm really loving one-layer cards at the moment. This week I decided to add an 'off the edge' feature to them. Here is my card using Kathryn's Rainbow ...

I started of roughly aligning my stamps along the edges to see how they would work before stamping Kathryn and her umbrella in to place. I left the sentiment until later as sometimes cutting around the edge can change the dynamic of the card and the sentiment might look better in a slightly different place.

TIP!: I find it easiest to have a side rather than a tent fold when making this type of card.

Next I aligned my card with the grid pattern of my cutting mat before aligning my metal ruler and cutting a straight lines between the stamped images. I then used my scissors to connect the little straight lines by cutting around the images.

At this point there is a little choice to make, one can either leave the folded over half of the card as is or trim it back to fit the straight line of the front. I decided on cutting to fit.

Kathryn got coloured in rainbow colours before I finished off with a light grey shadow.

Here is a last look at the finished card ...
