In advertising, one of the first lessons you learn is that you don't just put something upside down just for the sake of putting it upside down. In other words, a layout should have purpose and meaning. When I saw this layout I thought...what purpose could these circles have? That's when I thought of dreams or thought bubbles. The card speaks the rest. I decided to try something a little different with Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge this week. I decided to try a digital hybrid card made with My Digital Studio. I used the software to think through my card design and then printed everything out knowing that I wanted to punch out the bubbles with my 1" circle punch.
I used Sunny Day Papers 1 & 2 for the card base and digital stamps from Cute Cats & Cheep Talk for my images. The great thing about digital stamps is that I could re-size the images, add color, and flip some of them in different directions to suit my design needs. I punched each bubble and popped them up with dimensionals to achieve a more "stamped", hand-crafted look to my card.
(note: so sorry I had to "re-do" this post because I couldn't get it to link to Karen's card challenge.)
