Hey there!
I'm talking trends today on the Moxie Fab World blog. It's all about hexagons. I'd love it if you'd head over there to check out my post. There just might be a great giveaway going on there as well!
I have a project over there using hexagons, but I have another to share here. Hexagons are one of those shapes that have endless design possibilities. I was pushing them around, experimenting with different patterns and it was such fun! For my card here today I went with a traditional design which mimics the look of the classic flower garden quilt pattern.
I used my Cricut along with the Accent Essentials cartridge to cut a bunch of hexagons from different patterned papers. I arranged them into flower clusters on top of an embossed background which reminded me of a piece of fresh cotton fabric. A simple stamped sentiment and a bit of baker's twine finish off the country cottage look.
Thanks for stopping by!

Love this card Betsy! The embossing really made me think of a quilt - genius ;-)
I used a hexagon stamp in a few different ways this past vacation, if you want to take a look.
