Bright Colors Part I

As mentioned, I've made a couple of cards that are glaring bright.   Have your sunglasses ready!

The first one I am sharing made use of the oh-so-popular hexagons:


I think hexagons and I have a weird relationship.  I love hexagons but I often find it/them challenging to use on m cards.  They appear to be easy to line up for a background but when I actually do it something became crooked and the whole project has to be trashed.  The Honeycomb stamp set from Close to My Heart was the one I bought when I first saw it.  I tried to use it but all those projects were ripped and trashed.  I think finally I have made something that is not too embarrassed to share.  There are just so many failures behind this card that I do not want to count.

This card made use of the color scheme at Sunday Stamps!


And the card is entering the challenge at Friday Mashup - hexagons and girly project:



Thanks for stopping by!
