Anything but Square

Our first challenge of the year at Make My Monday is to make a card that is anything but square.

Now this card might look like a rectangle but the front is in fact a hexagon. I made it using a new set of dies from Paula Pascual called elongated hexagon. You get the basic card shape plus all the corner pieces ,smaller hexagons and trellis work insert.  The rhinestones, flower and leaves are very old stash. Don't forget to see what other shapes the DT have come up with.

Less is More - Geometric One Layer!

The ladies at Less is More are asking for a one layer card using geometric shapes! I went with hexagons and four shades of purple.

I masked off the card leaving a strip to stamp the hexagons on. It looked a bit unfinished with just the stamping so I drew two lines top and bottom of the panel to edge it.

I'm never terribly happy with my one layer cards, they always look a bit unfinished to me and invariably I end up cutting them down and adding a mat behind them. I may well do the same here!

And as I used purple will enter it as my 2nd entry over at the Allsorts challenge.

The Male Room - Geometric

Its time for a new challenge at The Male Room and the theme is "Geometric". I'm so glad I made this in advance as I haven't been feeling too well for the last few days, that and the fact that my little craft room - and I do mean little- gets the full sun all day so is unbearably hot at the moment, means that my crafting mojo is nil!!

I used the hexagon embossing folder for the background, a strip of Moonlight DSP and some hexagon shapes stamped with Hello Honey and Smoky Slate (which isn't showing up too well on the photo) and punched them out.  The greeting is from Wetlands. The bit that took the longest was trying to decide where to place the hexagons!
