Hexagon Quilt Card

Here's a card that I created because I haven't played with these items much. I have had the hexagon embossing folder, punch and stamp sets that go with them, but just haven't pulled them out to play with.
My mom makes a lot of quilts and it is her birthday next week, so I thought this would be a good theme for a card. Plus she has too many flowers to count, so it is a perfect fit; flowers and quilts.

I thought it would look pretty with a butterfly, so I added the Butterfly Basics stamp set butterfly and layered it on the die cut butterfly from the new Butterfly framelit set.

I used a brayer to apply Crushed Curry ink to the embossing folder before I ran it through the Big Shot. That's why you can see the embossed lines on the background paper.

I used Designer Series paper and the hexagon punch for the flowers and leaves. But if you want to you can use the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set and stamp and punch the flowers and leaves.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and I punched it out with the Word Window punch and matted it with the modern label punch.

Another Spring Banner

Here's the other spring banner I made. Flowers and butterflies are perfect for spring.

I used Stampin' Up! butterfly framelits for the butterflies. The stamped flowers are from the Crazy About You stamp set. I also used the Boho Blossom punch for the small flowers and the fringe scissors for the grass. The fence is stamped with the hardwood stamp.

Enjoy the day,
Trude
