Sometimes I find it challenging just to keep up with my favorite challenges, which is often the case with Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenges. A weekly challenge, beginning every Monday morning and ending on Sunday evenings, following is the sketch. This is Challenge #560 ending on Sunday, January 21, 2024.
After selecting a pretty striped paper to cut on the diagonal for the first layer, the yellow linen-textured cardstock backed with black pearlescent cardstock was added. The squares in the sketch were replaced with hexagons, my favorite shape in cardmaking. The smaller hexagons were die-cut from patterned paper, also backed with black pearlescent cardstock.
The center hexagon consists of black pearlescent cardstock. The paper pattern was an unusually large image for cardmaking use so I trimmed away a small portion to adhere to the hexagon. I did not care for the plain white portion above the three flowers the white portion was cut away, leaving part of the black hexagon exposed. I was satisfied with the result so left it.
The completed card front was adhered to a white card base and the inside was decorated with a bit of scrap paper and die-cut hexagon rings. The five black hexagon-shaped stick-ons were added for interest.
Thank you for stopping by... please leave a comment. Happy New Year!
