The prompt was Hexagon. She taught a new way to do Hexagon in stitching. Mine turned out elongated.
I chose a variety of honey colored yellow thread from my ORTs tin.
Make the vertical stitches, offset the second row then wrap between the rows.
She taught a super easy Hexagon accent which I made from golden yellow fabric onto which I added a Heart Button. I added a bee button as well to go with the Honey theme.
I made a card for my niece who passed along a great deal on a Janome Serger earlier this year. After a servicing it has been working really well.
I wanted a card with warm tones. I found a bee graphic on line that I liked then transferred some of the elements to watercolor paper.
I watercolored the background in a light shade of Daffodil Delight. The image was painted with Daffodil Delight and More Mustard. Outlined the elements with dark grey watercolor and a fine brush. I then created a few shadow hexagons around the outlined ones which I think worked out really well.
Once dry, I mounted the painting onto a Summer Sun card in the A6 size (just a bit smaller than half sheet size). I placed a piece of narrow stitched grosgrain ribbon in Basic Grey around the inside of the card and taped the ends to be under the watercolor layer. I added a Modern Label punchie greeting with a yellow offset with a grey greeting on white. I watercolored the white punchie to be just a little less stark.
Another set of cards for my friend. I chose card stock that matched the deep plum daisy confetti. I added a layer of white core card stock which I embossed with the new Stampin Up! Honeycomb folder. It works really nice. Once that layer was embossed I used a sanding block to remove the top layer of color to reveal the white core. I glued this layer to the card front. I then added the daisy confetti which is held in place with a tiny white brad to which I added a small white sequin which works with the white I revealed in the embossed layer.
