I was finally able to make the final card I had in mind last night for this month's Blog Hop--and just in time, too. I wanted to use the hexagons from Sketched Shapes. I am not crazy about the stamping I did--those hexagons are a bit harder to line up than I thought--more practice is needed. But, I am excited about the potential of this set. All this color using only one stamp from Sketched Shapes.
I have another card for this week's Make it Monday. I used Perfect Pearls Mists on just the orange 5 and 0. In real life, they are very shimmery. This card was inspired by a card I saw a while back, and I can't remember where I saw it. If it was your card or you know who had the original idea, please let me know so I can credit her properly.
Edited to add that Kelly sent me a pinterest link to the original card, which can be found here on Kelly's pinboard, and also let me know that the original artist is Pamela Ho. Edited again to say I found the link to Pamela's card. I am so lucky to have readers who are also crafty detectives.
Here is the inside:

ReplyDeleteOutstanding cards! I adore all those bright hexagons. I still haven't even opened my stamp set yet:(
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what card inspired your 50th birthday card - I think it was one of the MFW negative die cut winners - love your take on it and know how shimmery the orange numbers are - so tough to photograph. The sketched shape rainbow is great - there is a fun energy in that card with the big sentiment and scatter of stars!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know this card! It's Pamela Ho's. Here's a link to the pin, but it doesn't go to the post unfortunately: http://pinterest.com/pin/274649277245789288/. Love the design your little hexagon made, what a nice surprise! And the inside of your 50 card is just that ... "fabulous!"
