Howdy all! It's a gorgeous day here with sunshine and a lovely breeze. My arms are rather pink after sitting on the patio for lunch and then taking the hounds for a swim! I spent some time in the Craft Cave as I wanted to get a card done for this week's ColourQ challenge. I love the bright colours and those super cute towels. I played around with a few ideas involving polka dots but was finally drawn to the hexagons from Paper Smooches' Vogue Abode set. Initially I was going to lay them out in a striped pattern but it wasn't quite working for me and I finally came up with these graphic looking flowers. Kind of fun huh? Young Crafters Unite is currently running a flower challenge so I'm going to enter this over there as well. Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Hexagons from Vogue Abode) Paper Smooches, (Sentiment from Mixed Greetings) Woodware Craft Collection
Inks: (VersaFine Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Gems: (Ladybug, Limeade & Pool Party collections) Doodlebug
Oooh! This is my favourite kind of card - lots of white space and make something (flower) from something else (hex background) - clever! And I love that sentiment - have to hunt down that set!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make those hexagon flowers. Love the bling, too.
ReplyDeleteJen your design is amazing, I love love those hexagon flowers.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely fun! The Island Indigo makes for a very cool flower colour, as well. Nice!

ReplyDeleteNow this is clever! Love the idea of the flowers, and they really pop even more with the different colour centres - awesome :) I'm hoping to match you for pinkness if we end up getting some sun tomorrow! (Well, not really hoping to get a sunburn, just hoping that it might be possible, if you know what I mean...lol!)
