Time Out #39: Make Your Mark Reminder




We are about midway through our Time Out Challenge #39 'Make Your Mark' and there is still time for you to play along.  How about some additional inspiration?

This time, I decided to play along with the optional twist of a monochrome palette.

I took 4 colors of Distress markers, scribbled them on a piece of water color paper, and then added lots and lots of water.  This is what my paper looked like after it dried.



Then, I used the PTI Hexagon Cover Plate die to cut the entire piece of paper.  Using the die outline as a guide, I adhered many of the hexagons on to my card front, keeping the hexagons in their original rows, but varying the length and placement of each row, until I had a pattern that felt pleasing to my eye and left a space for my sentiment.  



Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from the Design team and from our lovely Guest Designer, Marika.

Don't forget, there is a prize from our sponsor, Uniko.



I am also going to enter this card at Virginia's View #18: Geometric Patterns, Addicted to CAS #71: Blue and Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge: Colouring.





Thanks for Visiting

    Beautiful intense colors, and gorgeous results on this one! Love the sea blues. Almost wouldn't have cut that gorgeous paper! But the card is so lovely. Must try this! Just got my Zig watercolor pens, hoping I get the same results. We'll see.

    Gorgeous card, Joyce! I love the gradient effect of your inking and how you varied the length and placement of each row of hexies! So much dimension in your water coloring, too!

    At first glance, I thought you were preparing us for a water or night scene background, but nope! Instead, you razzle dazzled us with the makings of a lovely grouping of hexagons, sporting ombre loveliness and housing a sweet little sentiment. Fabulous!
