This week's Design Bootcamp at OWH is all about using the Rule of Thirds in your card design. I've been playing with the Shellebrate stamp set from Stamper's Best, a fundraiser set for Operation Write Home, and I put together these cards with the Rule of Thirds in mind.
I used DP from the PTI Green Boutique stack and MME. Card stock used includes Pool Party from SU and New Leaf from PTI.
I created this overlay using a transparency and Sharpie marker. I think it will really be helpful in putting together balanced designs.
I put this card together from random stuff found in my reject basket. Again, I used my Rule of Thirds overlay to create a pleasing design.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look. Have a great day!
Blessings,

These are all terrific Shari! And what a fabulous idea to create a grid on a transparency. That's such a wonderful idea!! Would you consider posting it on the OWH Facebook wall or may I do it and send everyone to your blog to see it? Let me know paula at operationwritehome dot org.
ReplyDeleteShari, what a fantastic idea! Love the transparency idea! And your cards are adorable, too. ~ Marilyn
ReplyDeleteShari, your cards are so cute! Love how you pieced the turtle and the bicycle card is just so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI think your idea for making a transparency sheet with the grid lines is a terrific idea. I was struggling with placing a sentiment on a card today and was wishing I had that grid! I have some transparent material, so I'm making one! Thanks for sharing your idea.
Thanks for the transparency idea - I am definitely making one to use - love the turtle cards too - so cute!
