Today I have 2 cards to share with you. The first one features the new Hexagon Tiles dies and I was inspired by the ceramics of @quietclementine for my color palette. To create this card, I cut the 4 part Hexagon Tiles die out of several different colors of cardstock, and made my own 'dotted' cardstock by using the Altenew Many Dots Washi by adhering it to white paper and cutting it out. I arranged several of these hexagons onto a white cardstock panel and then finished the card with a CZ Design Reverse Happy Sentiment Strip.
For my second card, I used the new CZ Design Friends die. I embossed a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock that had been inked with Distress Inks and dried using the Tumbled Hexagons Embossing Folder. Then I cut the panel using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. I cut a heart using the Nested Hearts dies and layered it onto my embossed panel then added the Friends die and a sentiment from the Let's Connect sentiment strips.
The next stop on the hop is the amazing Barb Engler, and I am sure she has created something wonderful for you today. Before you hop, be sure to leave a comment to win 🙂 If you missed any of the stops on the hop, the full list is here.

Hi,
Love the first card and like the second one for its exceptionally cool color scheme and beautiful background. I saw those hexagons and thought “Laura Bassen will love those” but I see she was not the only one to have an excellent idea of how to use them.
Blessings on you now and always,
