I am not going to lie when I read the challenge over on AAA Cards I was a bit stumped😅 on what to do.
I have never heard of a challenge that wants you to cover only 2 quarters of your card. Well, the first thing I did was take a card base and section it off into quarters. I knew I wanted to include the optional twist of using my favorite color (RED) for sure but what to do? It finally came to me that if I had a repeating die or object that covered two OPPOSITE quarters it would look as if it was cascading. At least, that was the look I was going to go for. I decided then on my layering triangle dies. I took scraps from my scrap bin in different hues of red, cut them out, and layered them. I needed something...so I added some gold cardstock inlayed into parts of the triangles.
The sentiment I knew I wanted to straddle to two sections. A sentiment in the July Spellbinders Card Kit was perfect. A sentiment like to my friend...is so generic you could use it for anything.
But I did fudge just a bit😆...but for a good reason. When I erased all my pencil lines I made a bit of a bigger smudge in one area. I needed to cover that up. So I added some 4mm half-backed red pearls. So technically down in the right-hand corner, I did go a bit over into a 3 quarter of the card. OOPS! 🤷♀️

Wow, that red really pops ... such a fun design (and perfect *embellishment opportunity* recovery).
