I used the lovely hexagon die to make this card; I cut out a template, attached it to some card then, using Nicole Heady's hexagon colour plan, I stamped four colours over the template. I cut this layer to fit the base of my card. Using the Rosie Posie dies, I cut several flower and then stamped the images in So Saffron. I used my Promarkers to add some depth to the flowers and leaves. I cut the pretty scallop border from some card and attached to some white card and then attached the lace over the top. I cut a couple of mats onto which I attached the flowers. I stamped this super sentiment onto vellum as I didn't want to cover up the background pattern. And I finished off the card with some bling! And, I decorated the inside of the card too - using more hexagons!
I used this week's sketch from My Favourite Things - MFTWSC91 for the layout, and as there are scallops in several places this card is also being submitted to this week's Do You Stack Up? - DYSU81 challenge to use scallops.

I had a brilliant day yesterday. We finally finished unpacking our moving boxes!! Yes, I know we've been here a while, but sometime you just keep putting things off! Well, I do. Everything has been put away and now all that's left is getting rid of the empty boxes.
Kathryn and I plan to have a girly day - we're off to the cinema. Not sure what we'll see yet, but it'll be a fun day. Jonathan is off to a photo shoot. Enjoy your day - see you soon.

Delightful with the lace on white & the way your striped blue hexagon picks up the stripes of the inspirational photo. Not an easy colour combination to work. Love the way your scalloped green edging picks up the shape of those leaves.
