The Card Concept has a new challenge up called The Dog Days of Summer.
And My Favorite Things is sponsoring a Summer School series. The first lesson focused on using visual triangles in your design. It's something I think about almost every time I create a card. There are visual triangles in both the cards below, but one seems more apparent to me than the other.
My granddaughter occasionally pretends to be a puppy. These cute puppies from My Favorite Things "Woof Pack" had "her name on them," so as soon as a sale popped up they were in my basket. I'm a big fan of the sentiments, too, I was told after sending ONE card for both kids that it was no longer a good idea. Hannah, the 3 year old, claimed the card as her own, so this time two cards were sent.
The two puppies and the speech bubble create a visual triangle. This one seems to be a better example because both dogs are "looking at" the speech bubble. Sometimes it's the images that create a visual triangl, but often I use embellishments to form one.
I die cut the circle with a Spellbinders circle die and backed it with patterned paper from Sunny Studios, The pups were colored with Copic markers.
If it's a "Dog's Life," these cuties seem to have it pretty good.
