I created this card using the beautiful easy Fractured Card Technique. It is also called the Faux Shutter Technique and in a camera shutter. While it looks very complicated because it looks like the designer series paper has been cut into pieces and then adhered, it is really quite easy. Other Fractured Card techniques call for die-cutting the diamond out of the top and second layer, putting a piece of cardstock behind the opening, and then applying the strips of cardstock on top along the opening of the top layer.
In my technique, I put down a temporary 2 1/4″ mask in the center of the card and apply the strips around the mask. Then I remove it and add the top 2″ square that has been stamped with an image or greeting.
