I've got a cute and simple card to share today, but I wanted to use this card to show you a simple rule of great design you can use yourself when deciding what kinds of elements to use together in your projects.
Check out the cute snail!
Notice he's got those fun little circles on his back? I took my cue from those circles when deciding how I wanted the end result of my card to look. I not only added some card stock circles for some extra color and movement, but the circle idea is further carried over with the addition of the brad and buttons in the lower left.
Look carefully for patterns and shapes in your main image/element to carry through to the other design elements in your project. Repeating elements, such as circles, throughout your design will ensure you end up with a cohesive and polished looking design.
I hope you enjoyed this mini lesson in design today:). You may already be familiar with this concept, but sometimes us seasoned crafters tend to take some of the basics for granted. They bear repeating every once in a while, don't you think?
Thanks so much for joining me here today!
