It's taken me a long time to come to realization that you can actually learn how to make your cards better. I know, obvious, right? But not to me - I thought that some people were just naturally more talented at it and I was doomed to forever feel like a second class card maker.
And while I'm still fairly sure some of my favorite card makers just have more of an eye for color and design than I do, taking online classes has helped me A LOT.
So when I saw the Paper Crafts "Card Design " edition, I was delighted. "173 tips to design like a pro?" Sold.
This card was made using the guidelines for Balance/Repetition as well as the guidelines for color - a gallon of orange, a quart of black and a pint of currant. The repetition design element was featured on the Moxie Fab blog too - as soon as I saw the challenge, I knew I had the perfect stamp for it. It's the skull from the A Muse Nevermore set, one of my current obsessions...

It looks fabulous, Kay!! Love your skulls with this wonderful line of poetry!! Awesome!!
It wasn't that obvious to me either. It took me years to finally clue in that maybe if I took an online class I could learn how to make cards. :) Funny enough, clean & simple are the hardest for me to make. This card is a perfect example of clean lines and simple design that is combined into fabulousness. (is that even a word?) :)
Hey Kay! Thanks for linking this up to the Repetition Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
