Let's Create A Fault Line Card

A fault line card is a card that has a diagonal tear across the front of the card, then the pieces are reattached with another sheet of paper. Often a different sheet of DSP also separates the center piece.  

I used the Spooky Sweet DSP to create my card.  I began with a Basic Gray A2 card base.  I tore it diagonally from left to right.  Then I cut a piece of the gray candy and stars DSP sheet at 3" x 5.5".  I placed the top torn edge of the card base on top of the DSP sheet and tore it as closely as I could to get the same angle as the top panel. I did the same for the bottom edge.

I adhered the panels together, then worked to bend the edges out to make the "fault line" more prominent.

I used the Fright Night bundle to cut out many of the elements for my card: the spiders and web, "Eek", bats, and banner.  The stamped sentiment is also from the bundle.

I stamped the treats from the More than Autumn bundle and colored them with Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, and Petunia Pop Stampin' Blend markers. I stamped my sentiment on the banner and adhered it to the card base with dimensionals to cast a spooky shadow beneath the banner.  I added some foam stars in the bottom left and top right to complete the card.
