Dreaming of Hexagons...

Hello everyone! I've been a bad, bad blogger and it's been a long time since I last posted. Sorry! I've got lots of cards to share with you in the upcoming weeks, so if you still visit my blog…I just want to say thank you!


Today's card uses my new Hexagon dies from MFT. I really love all the Hexagon cards out there and was excited to finally have these dies for my very own. But they're a lot harder to layout than I thought they would be! I can't seem to get that 'quilted' look down so after numerous attempts, I finally decided to go with this graphic design. After die-cutting and assembling the strips, I stamped PTI's Harvest Berries across it. I then popped up the center strip for some dimension and added rhinestones and a button to embellish. Im pretty happy with the way it turned out. Im still going to work on my quilted hexagons though...

Im entering this card into the following challenges:

  2. Hi Nadine...I am so glad to see you blogging. I was wondering if you were doing okay. I love your card. It is so gorgeous. I like how you stamped the Harvest Berries and then did your thing. Great color selection for the "shoe." Since I have this die coming I really appreciate the inspiration.

    Also, I am liking your new blog, too. I posted earlier and thought I double posted and so I deleted it and I ended up with no post at all.

  5. I'm still following your blog, my friend. I know how crazy life can get and blogging seems to be the first thing to get cut. No worries - life comes first. Your card is great - those colors are so awesome together and I like how you stamped the Harvest Berries across the hexies. By the way, I totally want those shoes. I have no idea where I'd wear them but I love them. :)

  11. This is a lovely design and the button and twine are FAB embellishments. Keep going with the 'quilt' look design, you will find the perfect combination if you persevere.
