Layout #9 – Faux Envelope
This layout template is based on a simple envelope design. It breaks up the space in a nicely assymetrical way, and allows you to place the focal image wherever you choose.

Here are two ATC templates that orient the faux envelope flaps in different directions. I’ve used a bottle cap with an image in it for the focal point of one, and a round stamped tag for the other. Your eye will always be drawn to where the two lines of the flap intersect—in this case, right underneath the round elements. Be sure to put something interesting there.

For this card, I switched things up a little, and used what would normally be a focal image as the right side of the envelope, layering the flap of text over it. Your eye will still be drawn to the round element, but it’s just an accent here. You should end up looking at the girl’s face, which is conveniently placed directly above the round element. That round spot might be a nice place to put an appropriate word or phrase.

This square card can be oriented either way. Here it is flipped on its side:

Oh, and just in case you need it, here’s the rectangular card template, oriented the opposite way:
