Hexagons

Good morning!
I'm here to share my project for this weeks challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog...


You've been Hexed!

 Cheryl is our host this week and the challenge she has set is to use a hexagon(s) on our projects ...
These certainly seem to be the new 'thing' on the crafting circuit and they look so pretty ... 
I always think of maths when I think of hexagons ... fortunately I liked maths ... 
Here's what I came up with 


Not too sure if you can make out that the box is a hexagon ... kind of hard to photograph


The lovely paper was a gift from my sweet friend Keren


... both the box and the hexagon overlay were cut on my Cameo ... and the roses are made by me


We are lucky to have the fabulous Lauren Bergold guesting for us for the next few weeks so please hop over and check out her project and those of the rest of the DT. 
Full details of the challenge and the prize on offer are also on the City Crafter blog ... I hope you will be inspired to join us ... we'd love to see what you create!

I'm also linking this to the challenge at Moxie Fab World where there is a hooked on Hexagon Challenge too

Have a beautiful day ...

(& YES it's totally clear--& SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE--that the box is a hex shape! awesome!) as soon as i saw that cool cut-away grid i started thinking, "...i need an electronic cutter..." lol; it looks so very FABULOUS!!! (kinda like SOMEONE i know, missus!) ♥♥♥

That box is a real exe-catcher! I assumed it was a hexagon as well - but no matter, it's gorgeous. Love the card, too, somehow it looked like whatever these boards are called in bee hives where the honey is being made. Not that it's all that relevant: it's a fabulous card!

Stella said...

Sigh...pure beauty in blue and hexagons. I love the hexagon overlay and I can still see that gorgeous patterned paper. My oh my. And you made the flowers yourself? Geesh; Prima will be jealous:)
Love this!

Beautiful gift set, I just love those soft colors and lovely embellies!

Tracy said...

The first thing I wondered when I saw this card was "where did she find a die like that?" I should have know it was cut on your amazing Cameo. Those hexagons really are hot and your projects are totally smokin' Ros. Hugs!
