Welcome
I have seen a couple of challenges recently which contributed to this card's design - and the interests of the recipient also added to the mix.

I have a new hexagon die which I used to emboss the design into the card
I then used the die as a stencil to add the colour with chalks/pastels.
To emphasise the ones I left white, I added a wee bit of faux stitching.
The card was finished with a simple embossed sentiment, some faux stitching to form a border, and the corners on the white layer were rounded before being mounted onto a red base.

Gorgeous Maxine. I managed to pick up some chalks this week at half price. Like the design you did.

I love hexagon projects. In fact, I have the template and again, have never tried it. When I told you that I'm really bad about trying new things., I wasn't kidding. LOL

Hi Maxine, thanks for your lovely comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteNow this card looks very interesting. a great idea using the die as an embosser only. I never think of doing that.i love that you kept some of the hexagons white and then did the faux stitching. Very creative.

Wow- loving all of the combined elements- the die is nice- but loving the stitching you added!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful assortment of colors on your card. Beautiful design/concept. We are so blessed with your wonderful project and hope you join us again in this week's Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. I want to share this verse with you in Luke 1:37 which says, "For no word from God will ever fail." God bless, always!
