I have been playing with hexagons inspired by so many cards on Split Coast Stampers. I am using a Sizzix hexagon die to cut the shapes from a variety of papers. For this session I used mostly scraps from my little stash of blue scraps. You can layer your papers and it cuts seven at a time so a little stack of hexies did not take long. For these two cards I started with a navy strip about 2" wide and 5.5" long. I played with the hexies in my little stack until I was happy with the layout and then I glued them into place trimming them to the edge. I added navy strips to the sides which I had trimmed with decorative scissors (scallop and deckle) and then added paper piercing before adhering them to the back of my strips with double sided tape. I layered decorative paper on my card fronts (gray and navy) and then added my decorative strips. To echo the bit of yellow I created paper flower embellishments at my focal elements. I adhered them with 3D foam tape to my cards after I added a length of yellow satin ribbon to the backs of them. I am sending them off to my card exchange partners for February. Therese
