This card came together pretty quickly because I just so happened to stop at Hobby lobby yesterday and picked up a bag full of Tim Holtz, Sizzix, and a different brand I cant remember the name of right now clearance items. Oh did I have fun there. Well anyways. ...I have been watching a lot of Jennifer McGuire videos recently and I thought...if she can do nested die cut projects then I can at least try it. Lol I visited my gallery to see if I ever made a card like this before...nope I havent. I’m still learning new and exciting ideas. I have a hard time with more freelanced projects like alcohol inks or water coloring BUT I’m not giving up. I just need more tim Holtz and Jennifer McGuire, Unity lives and Gina Ks videos to watch lol. I totally admire their craftiness.
Listen to me rambling on...Ill get in with it lol
I first paper pierced the diamond background on the white panel paper, then I die cut the hexagon die shape 4 times and switched up the colors old olive, white, pool party, and what I believe to be pacific point , but Im not so sure of because it wasnt in its packaging, to make this color combo...which I have another three full hexagons to create more projects with..yay. I die cut the foliage from old olive paper and used the markers to give them some depth of color. I die cut 5 black hellos and 1 white hello and glued them all together with the white one being offset just a hair to make the word more noticeable. I assembled the card. Added the ribbon as as an afterthought along with the Nuvo drops. Once you get into the rhythm of things it didn’t take long at all.
I hope you all are enjoying your week and this beautiful spring weather. God bless and stay safe.
