AAA Birthday challenge #59 Geometric

Hello friends and welcome to March!  This year definitely needs to slow down as I can't believe we are at the start of the third month already.  On a positive note at least spring is getting a little closer *yay*.  I'm here today to share my card for this month's AAA Birthday challenge.  Our hostess this month is Vicki and she has chosen 'geometric'.  Our lovely guest for this month is Karen Rogers so pop over and leave her some love.  

I love the look of geometric designs and they are perfect for masculine cards.  I needed a card for my brother-in-law so it was the perfect challenge for me.  Here is my card:

a closer look:

plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting my white panel to 4" x 5 1/4".  I took some triangle dies and cut 1 large one from red card, 2 medium cut from red and black card and 1 tiny one cut from black card.  I took a strip of black and white striped patterned paper and adhered it to the left side of my panel with double sided tape.  I added the larger red triangle with liquid glue overlapping the paper and placed the medium black triangle over top with foam squares.  I then added the red medium triangle to the bottom left, again overlapping the paper, and added the tiny black triangle with a foam square.  The sentiment was stamped towards to the right side between my triangle clusters.  No embellishments as I thought it looked cool as it was.  For the inside I added a very thin piece of the patterned paper to the bottom of my panel and added a medium red and tiny black triangle just above in the bottom left with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment in black ink in the centre.
