Thanks to the generosity of a lovely crafting friend I now own a set of the hexagon slatted dies and my first card design is, I suppose, quite predictable in that I've chosen to use a bee die although there are many other ways in which these could be used - they come in varying sizes too which makes them very versatile.. I opted for a CAS style here, cutting the hexagon shape using all three dies taped together. This was then backed with a yellow layer and adhered to a white card blank. The bee was cut from yellow and black card, layered up and given some shine using Wink of Stella. I deliberately used the slats on the diagonal as a change from either vertical or horizontal. A simple computer generated sentiment has been added.

ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and a great way to use your gift.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Val. Clever idea to place the stripes at an angle - I love you bee, buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Reminds me, Len came into the craft room the other evening as he thought we had a bee in the house, it was yours truly, dog tired, head on desk giving it the ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's! Ha!

Brilliant design Val, I love the slatted hexagon and your bee is adorable! Love that you placed your hexagon so that the slats were diagonal too! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteThe hexagon slatted die makes a great background for the beautiful bee Val, and a great CAS style card. x
