This layout takes full advantage of that red bird to draw the eye to the focal point scene...its hard to even notice all the white space, so strongly does that spot of red in the white and gray draw your eye.
I love how this card is simultaneously peaceful and dramatic.

ReplyDeleteYou take the cake when it comes to outstanding minimalist cards. I'm working on becoming a cake-taker, too. I love your style and your ideas.

'Dramatic' is a good descriptor for this card. Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteI'm in lurve with a red cardinal in a snow covered tree and this is pure art to me. I'd frame this. (Please forgive the Annie Hall reference.)
ReplyDeleteIs your ruler a specific art ruler or just a basic wood one? Also, how far apart are you lines? I might need to case this soon!
ReplyDeleteThe ruler is a metal ruler with felt backing, so it doesn't rest directly on the paper. That keeps ink from wicking under the ruler and making a mess.
DeleteThe lines are 3/4" apart.
This is one of the best cards ever ... Love the window effect you created.
ReplyDeleteThis layout is so nice. The masking gives it such a cool effect. Thank you for the tip about the ruler with felt backing!
