Presentation: A Cut Above
**Kay showed a variety of
cards and projects she cut into letters and shapes to create a foreground. She passed out black cardstock to fold into a
card and then we cut tree forms out and slid marbled paper in behind it. Some opted to cut a horizon and/or add a
moon. It was important to keep the
borders connected to the interior forms in order to stay connected. Some good ideas for Kay came from a book on
stained glass. It was a great make and
take night! Thanks, Kay!
