Welcome to the first day of Summer School! We have a fabulous and fun, educational week planned for you. Each day we are going to explores some card composition design rules, we will share some samples, and then it's your turn to show us your amazing creations!
Our first lesson is the Rule of Thirds. The division of your card into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. One of the easiest ways to divide your card into thirds is to use MFT's fabulous Horizontal or Vertical Stitched Strips Die-namics. I used these dies here, along with the Linen Background stamp to create the background for this card.
Keeping the rule of thirds, and the resulting sweet spots (intersection points) in mind, I placed the adorable new girl from the Adventure is Calling set, on the right-hand side of the card.
The image was stamped in Black Licorice Ink on a piece of X-Press It card stock and it was coloured with Copics.
