My Favorite Things Summer School Day 4 - Hay There!

 
Hello hello and welcome to MFT Summer School Day 4! I hope you have been enjoying these lessons as much as I have. The topic of today's lesson is:
 
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.
 
I had SO MUCH FUN making my card using today's design principle! Here it is:

       Ok seriously, those pigs are the cutest thing EVER! I wanted to try something a little different with the construction of my barn. More often then not I see barns that weathered from age, and 90% of the time they are faded gray. So I used my Wood Planks background and Grout Gray card stock to create my old gray barn. I arranged my pigs, the sun, and the small cloud in a line that I hope, conveys the heart of today's lesson.
 
     Are you guys enjoying this week? I can't wait to sit down and take a look at what you have been working on this week! Make sure you visit the MFT Blog, and if you complete today's homework you will be in the running to win fabulous MFT prizes!

MFT Summer School Day 3 - You Made My Day!

 
 
Welcome to Day 3 of My Favorite Things Summer School! Today we are learning 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!
 
Here is the card I created using this design principle:

To create my card I die-cut my balloons out of the colors I painted and set them aside to dry. My background is also watercolor paper painted using the MFT Berrylicious re-inker. I had fun making this card!
 
I hope you will create a card using today's lesson and who knows you just might win a fantastic prize! Be sure to visit the MFT Blog to see the full lesson and to see a list of all the MFT designers playing along today! Thanks for stopping by and get busy on that homework!

My Favorite Things Summer School - Day 2





Hello and welcome to Day #2 of My Favorite Things Summer School! Today's lesson is:

Focal Point –The main area where an embellishment or image stamp is placed. Typically it works best if there is only one focal point.

Here is the card I created using today's design principle:
