Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog as the DT continues to celebrate summer. Today's project showcases a technique on incorporating a geometric shape, in this case, a hexagon, to your layout design. This card is very easy to put together.
I used the flower stamp from the Blank Page Muse Flamingo Row Red Rubber Art Stamps. Summer for me is about flowers because of the sun. The stamp set includes three floral stamps. I decided to just use the large floral stamp in my project.
I inked the floral stamp with an oxide ink. This ink has a pigment like property. The ink just stays on top of the paper making my preferred ink when stamping on dark colored paper.
I adhered the stamp to my stamping tool using a washable glue stick. I used a stamping tool just in case I need to re-stamp the image again.
Have you seen cards using brown ink instead of blank ink in stamping? The brown ink gives the image a different character. I love it!
I dug from my treasure box this very old hexagon die.
I die cut a paper using this die to use as a template in cutting the stamped flowers. I positioned this template over the stamped cardstock.
I positioned the die over the paper template then ran this through the die cut machine.
I ended up using the next small hexagon die in the set to accomodate the size of the paper I stamped the image on.
I arranged the hexagons then picked this up with a Glad Press 'N Seal to preserve the arrangement. You can always take a photo of the arrangement if you don't have a Press 'N Seal. I added foam tape on the back of each hexagon.
For the background panel, I was fortunate to find a striped pattern paper with similar colors as my hexagon. What a lovely coincidence! I added faux stitching to the colored stripes using a die.
After I removed the release paper from the foam tape, I adhered the hexagons to the striped background panel. I needed to do a bit of aligning of the hexagons. Once I was happy, I pressed the hexagons to the panel to adhere the foam tapes to the panel.
I squirted a dot of the glue to the flower centers.
I adhered a tiny sequin to the flower center.
I did not add a sentiment to the panel just to make it ready for any occasion. A sentiment can be stamped on the bottom of the panel. If you are hesitant to do that, you can stamp the sentiment on another cardstock, die cut it and adhere it to the panel. Or you can just keep the panel as is.
I hope you give this card design a try. And if you do, please share it with us through one of BPM's social media sites. We always enjoy seeing your work.
