Its been quite a while since I had time to play over at the Moxie Fab Blogs "Tuesday Trigger" but once I saw this cute pincushion with the sweet hexagons I had to have a go. I love the chintzy material and that inspired me to use some scraps of chintzy paper ( a great way to use scraps!!) Unfortunately I don't have a hexagon die so I just used a computer art program to print off a shape and then I used it a blank!
I have used a piece of felt for the middle so I could stick the pins through.
This is the last weekend of my summer holiday and I am back to work on Tuesday, the six weeks have flown by and I am really not looking forward to going back to school!!
Sally, this card is so darling and delightful - just gorgeous! What a good idea to use a hexagon template too, that never crossed my mind.. the colors go so well with the inspiration picture! I'm sure its a winner!

ReplyDeleteLovely card Sally. Great idea with sticking the pins into the felt. I was uncomfortable with the pins sticking out, so I tucked mine in!
ReplyDeletesuperb Sally.. Using a template to cut out your hexagons reminded me of making my first simple quilts ~ cutting paper templates and cutting material to fold around them and stitch together.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. I like the hexagons pieced together and the felt with pins.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great school year.
Beautiful Sally.
