Explosion Box Card "Shades of Blue & Wolf Theme"

I've done a few studies of explosion box cards and oh my, some are like wah..so technical and brilliantly done. But I like to decorate them more and adding embellishments like buttons, sequins and enamel dots. It's fun to arrange the chipboards, tags and cut outs and arrange them in a pleasing manner, x4 because got four sides, lol.

I would say this is a rather simple box but what I like about this card is the colour that stands out. I find that using a plain cardstock in combination with a patterned paper one help to let the base stand out more. 

In addition, after studying the pictures...(yes, u can get new ideas studying your past work too), using two different patterned papers, horizontally and vertically, I find that it's more interesting as it helps to let the top layer stands out a little more. While I used the same patterned paper for the top layer, I broke up the monotony by adhering different patterned papers on top of the existing one for the top and bottom panels as you can see from the picture above.

I hope the above pointers help when you are making your own explosion box card :) by varying the shades of the colour or by using different patterned papers for the top layer.
