CAS898 Nesting hexagons

Photo Details

Poster: Karen Hartikainen

Some aspects of this card might not show up as much as they do IRL but here goes...I started by scoring lines both horizontally and vertically on the card front. I attached a single flower and bud, after distressing it, in the space left by die cutting a small hexagon within a larger one. I added a sentiment and scattered some tiny crystals and this CAS card was done!

Love how your pretty flower is peeking out of the hexagon. Fun technique! Great card.

Your scored grid adds subtle structure behind the layered hexagons and the distressed flower peeking through the opening creates a delicate focal point while the tiny crystals add just the right touch of sparkle to finish the clean design.
