Hi!
Thanks for stopping by for our Colour Creations Soft Sea Foam Blog Hop. Are you a fan of the subtle green? I have to say, it's one of my least-used colours. It's a bit wishy-washy for me! I struggled for inspiration, and finally threw something together at 2pm this afternoon.
I haven't played much with my new Beautiful Shapes Dies, so that's where I decided to start. I've been considering starting an English Paper Pieced quilt, so I think that hexagons were on my mind! I cropped a heap of SSF hexies and then arranged them over the front of my card. I had some thoughts of popping some up and leaving some flat, but in the end, all got popped up.
I used my Brilliant Wings Dies to crop two of the largest butterflies - one in Silver Foil and one in Whisper White cardstock. I glued them together, but only at the body, and then glued it to the card. The double layer gives lovely dimension.
I repeated the front in miniature for the inside, with the addition of a sentiment from Biggest Wish to match the front.
Time to jump on over to the next blog now, which just happens to be the wonderful Catherine Proctor. Not only does she make gorgeous cards, but she also keeps us all organised. She's also your go-to-gal in case you run into any problems with the hop.
Bye for now,
Tina
Ooh, I like the crisp, clean, lines of the hexagons as a backdrop to the pretty, detailed, butterfly, Tina. Nice job - especially for a last-minute creation!
ReplyDeleteOh Tina, I love the modern graphic feel of your card - what a fantastic "last minute" card, I never would have guessed if you hadn't told us!
ReplyDeleteLove these hexies with the lovely big butterfly, Tina. I could see this design with a big bumblebee and honeycomb too! It certainly doesn't look like a last minute card ;)
ReplyDeleteThe silver foil butterfly and SSF make for such a lovely soft and subtle card. Tina, I love hexies and I hope you’ll share pics of your quilt when it’s finished.
