I went to a crop this weekend and really wanted to included hexagons in one of my layouts. I found the above sketch by Becky Fleck featured on Bella Blvd Studio Blog and fell in love with it! It wasn't as easy to duplicate as I thought but...I do love how it turned out. I used my Sew Easy and some embroidery floss to do the stitching. I didn't bring my KNK with me to the crop so I used my friend's cutter to cut 2.5" hexagons. I intend to replicate this layout again. I will use my Card Base 11: Hexagons cutter file to cut the hexagons as a single hexagon is included in the file. I used Color Me Crazy flowers colored with Copics. I added a bead cap and rhinestone to finish off the center. I would think my Playful Flowers Leaves and Vines cutter file could easily be substituted. The hearts are punches I borrowed at the crop. The stitching really did take forever..I am thinking next time I might just use my pen tool in my KNK to draw some faux stitching lines or maybe even let the KNK make stitching holes as it was hard to get the Sew Easy to pierce straight holes. I could totally see this layout done with snowflakes instead of flowers too. Now to find a single winter photo I can use. I normally take too many pics! A single photo layout is rare for me!
