Hexagons

Hello,

The theme of this weeks challenge on Less is More´s blog is Hexagons.  What to do??  Then I thought of the new stamp that had just arrived in the mail, Hexagon Background from Hero Arts.  I had seen it used for a male a card on the Online Card Class His & Hers and liked the card.  Before joining this class I used a very limited colour palette for male cards but it was eye opening to see that the demonstrators used a very wide range of colours.  So tonight I have used one of their colour schemes.
Supplies:  White and blue card, Hero Arts Hexagon Background stamp and sentiment, October Afternoon buttons, We R Memory Keepers floss and VersaColor inkpad

Challenges:
Make it Monday - Anything Goes

Polka Doodle - Male Theme
Pink Gem Challenge - Father's Day/Male 

Well that is all for tonight, it's bed time.

Summer

Hello,

The folks of the Northern Hemisphere must have been eagerly awaiting summer because there are lots of challenges with summer themes.  I started with a Mo Manning image for Mo's Digital Challenge - Summer Time.

Supplies:  White and blue card, Mo Manning image, EP design paper, Simple Stories chipboard stickers, Lyra pencils and twine

I like depicting Summer, it is my favourite season and what better way to represent Summer than with a beach scene?  Although I think the "model" is being a little unwise because she looks like she is getting sunburnt. 
 
I will also join in  for some fun in the sun at the following challenges -
Alota Rubber Stamps - Summer Feeling
Sassy Studio Designs - Hit the Beach 
One Crazy Stamper - Summer Fun
Pink Gem - Summertime
Crazy 4 Challenges. - Summer Inspiration
The Squirrel and the Fox - Summer or Winter
Make it Monday - Anything Goes

Thank you for dropping by.
