As You See It – clockwork colours

Welcome to my second post today, this time with the new colour challenge from As You See It. I thought this palette would work really well for a masculine card, with ClarityCrafts ‘clockwork’ aperture die and the sketch from Global Design Project

I started with a piece of navy card, trimmed fit on a 5×7 card blank, and cut the ‘clockwork’ aperture die into it. For one, I’d remembered to put a layer of thin adhesive sheet on the back, so was then able to easily attach it to the front of the card blank. I then cut the die again into a piece of copper metallic card (again with an adhesive sheet on the back), cut it out with a nested circle die and attached it on top of the navy layer, offsetting it very slightly to give a drop shadow effect.

I added a strip of the copper metallic card down each side of the card, then mounted word sticker on the copper card and added them to the card front. The finishing touch was a few beige enamel dots in around the die cut.

So how would you use our colours? There’s more inspiration from my design team-mates over at As You See It and you have until Wednesday 18 October to join in with us – we’d love to see you in our gallery.
