I had a chance to play with some new products from Spellbinders:
I cut a white panel and used a Spellbinders embossing folder to create the background, layered onto a white card base.
I then did some die-cutting – when I say ‘some’ die-cutting I really mean quite a bit. I was using the colours from the current challenge at Color Hues, and die cut the hexagons, flowers, and all the layers from white, teal, and lime green card stock. I had no idea when I began which colour I was going to use for which layer, so I played around until I found the layers that I wanted, then glued them all together.
I then played with the positioning of the hexagons until I was happy with the layout above, glued the floral images down, added some small gold gems to the flowers then thought about the sentiment.
I used a debossing sentiment – also from Spellbinders – and some of their gold card stock to match with the centre of the flowers.
I’m getting quite used to the small fiddly layering dies, and instead of dreading them I embrace them wholeheartedly….and the only thing I get just a little worried about are the colours for each layer, but with a colour challenge that is taken care of……

A great take on the colour challenge Lynda. That looks like a lot of die cutting and the end result is quite stunning. I like the way you arranged the hexagons over the embossed background, which by the way is also beautiful.
