Aloha, all!
This is a quick follow up to my last two blog posts and covers the last project I made with leftovers from my SUO Challenges card earlier this week.
This card is a bit different from the other two that I made using the leftover Hexagon Hive Thinlit die cut pieces from the challenge card. As the die cut for this card was plain cardstock, and wanted to have some Designer Series Paper behind it. If you can imagine, I was a bit weary of the Flowerpot Designer Series Paper (that won't last long), so I went looking for other papers that included some Tangerine Tango (or Tangelo Twist?) color in it. I finally settled on the dotted design in the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper set. Yes, there are those teeny little dots of Tangelo Twist that were going to provide a very nice accent for that Tangerine Tango Cardstock. Who can tell the difference with that kind of a print?!
From there, I focused on a different color to form a base for and accent the rest of the card – Bermuda Bay – Cardstock and 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. The card base is a standard sized 4-1/4" h x 5-1/2" w card, folded at the top. I also used the Bermuda Bay Cardstock to punch the fun little flowers using the Boho Blossoms Punch. I adhered the little flowers to the cardstock hexagons using Glue Dots, and then added Tangerine Tango Candy Dots to the center of 5 of the little flowers. I didn't want to waste any of those glue dots by placing them on flowers that were going to get covered up by the sentiment element!
The Birthday Wishes stamp is from the Four You Stamp Set. Remember that I had all this leftover stuff from the original project out on my table, so I didn't go looking for any other stamp sets to clutter my work table up any more than it already was! And now I'm finished with all those leftovers and my work table is all cleared off!
But this is not quite the last you'll see of the Hexagon Hive Thinlit! Just before I started on my SUO Challenge project, I had that thinlit out to CASE a project from the current Stampin' Up! Catalog. What fun that was! Check back on Tuesday for that project!
