The sentiment placement just wasn't working where it was in the sketch, so I moved it up and picked a sentiment with a cursive first word to rest on the top of one hexagon while the rest of the words run over the design. The random-ish pearls were added for a bit of interest...subtle but pretty, and their randomness balances (hopefully) the tidy hexagons.
I really like this card, but I really didn't like making it. Lining up all those hexagons was a pain and took longer than I would have liked.
Just call me lazy.
Supplies

Lazy - no way, Susan! I'm lazy - I would never attempt to line up rows of hexagons. Seriously. Your card really is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteIt might have taken you longer, but I love this card! I will be CASEing it - just saying....
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that I really like your card. I have this stamp set and have been searching cards on-line for inspiration. Yours is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteAnd you know, I love the way the "just" of the sentiment just snuggles perfectly against those hexagons.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of hexagons and am hoping they will overtake the use of butterflies (ha!). The sentiment is ideally placed. A great interpretation of the sketch. Just lovely!
