MFT Summer School - Lines

Hi!

This is how Susan Opel describes today's lesson at MFT's summer school: Line – Horizontal lines can be calm and quiet or an anchor, while vertical lines can convey movement. over the design. This is under the umbrella of creating balance - the way the elements of a card (lines, shapes, colors, textures, etc.) are arranged to create a feeling of stability; a pleasing or harmonious arrangement or proportion in a card design. And this is my take;

I used the panda set from the latest release - oh how I love that set (-: and diecut some bamboo sticks to  run across my card.

Favorite Technique and product!

Simon says stamp Wednesday challenge has a new challenge up and it is called Favorite Technique and/or favorite products. This card has both - I know I was late to the party with using stencils, but I've fallen in love with MFT's awesome stencils. For this card I used the giraff stecil and think I made it look like ripple on the pool water. And anything from Birdie Brown (MFT) will always be my favorites - Torico's images are so super sweet!

MFT Summer School - Movement - Cow's it going?

Hi again!

Today I'm here with another post for  MFT's summer school . Today's lesson is about:  Movement/Flow - "The arrangement of the elements on a card to create a sense of motion by using lines, shapes, forms, and textures that cause the eye to move over the design. Creating a Visual triangle with sentiment, paper, and focal point is a great way to show movement as well!"

Please pop over to MFT to check out  my super talented teamies' takes on Movement and leave some love!
