I loved yesterday so much that I haven't even moved on to today's lessons yet!! I wanted to try another of the techniques described in the class. This essentially is a paper piecing project with concentric hexagons. I liked popping the layers up, but I wasn't really excited about the idea of my card being almost an inch thick, and the foam adhesive I grabbed was pretty thick. (I fully admit the element of laziness in first trying this method before going to search for thinner pop dots!!) Anyway, I just really liked the way it turned out, so I just popped up every other layer.
To get the layers lined up, I adhered the outer layer to my card base and then placed (but did not adhere) the outermost hexagon ring. I adhered down the next one in and peeled off the one I had placed. Then I popped up the remaining two layers and added a banner. The muted palate made me think of a wedding, so I made them wedding cards.
The supplies I used as as follows: The dies are Spellbinders, the paper is Authentique (Fresh), the sentiment stamp is Simon Says Stamp, and the ink is Close To My Heart.
Hope you enjoy!!
I love your hexagon cards! Your patterned paper is beautiful. Happy to inspire you friend. :)
