Global Design Project #GDP176 Case the Designer





The Global Design Project for this week is CASE the very talented designer Steffi Helmschrott.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

The idea to CASE a project is to take something you like from the design and make it your own. It could be the stamp set - the colours, the layout, the theme, the images - whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own. Well I really loved Steffi's card- the colours and the layout. I needed to make a masculine card for my Father's upcoming Birthday. So I have used the variation of bright colours for my card background as Steffi has done plus the gears to reflect her circular embossed shapes.





Using the Geared Up Garage Bundle from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue I have created a male Birthday card. Dad has always loved cars, but due to failing health and advancing age he surrendered his drivers licence and sold his beloved car last year. I think if he had of been a teenager when he first got his driver's licence he would have been a real rev head. But due to the economic circumstances of the time he was in his 30's before he learnt to drive and could afford to buy a car. 



To create my background I took my Brusho Crystal Colours out of the cupboard and did some experimenting. I used the Brilliant Red, Gamboge and Yellow colours spayed my whisper white cardstock with water, lightly sprinkled my Brusho powders then allowed them to run. I then resprayed the cardstock again and blotted the water off a little. I was happy with the effect but the funny thing is when I turned the cardstock over I liked the back better. So I used the flip side for my card. 
The gears were diecut from silver foil then sponged with StazOn black ink to give them a grungy look.
