Hexagon Craze

Hexagons are everywhere! I have to say that I love them

as much as the next paper crafter.  Lately they have taken 

the place of circles and hearts in my layouts and cards. 

This week's challenge at CropStop Challenge Blog is to 

create a project using hexagons.  I got a little out of control with the hexagons so

I have two cards to share with you today for the CropStop challenge

and for Hooked on Hexagons Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

To give the hexagons a bit more texture in this hexagon birthday card

 I embossed the orange hexagons.  

CropStop Supplies:

Tim Holtz Core'dinations Paper

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Spellbinders - Becky Fleck

Helmar ScrapDots Liquid Adhesive

Cuttlebug Herringbone Embossing Folder

My second card uses hexagon patterned paper.

I love the effect of dry embossing on patterned paper.  It is a simple way

to add design and texture.  To make my embossed image stand out 

on this card I inked the world map image with Distress Stain & Distress Ink.
