Into shape

So I am back again with another challenge product between BożenA and I. Yes, we only revealed one last week, but we both had our new project finished, so why wait? This time our challenge theme was "Shapes" You could choose any shape and it had to be depicted on at least 2 levels of the card. I opted to go with a hexagon.

I have used my shape on all levels of the card (card itself, focal image and embellishments) and decided this was the perfect time to attempt my first easel card. I have admired them on other blogs, but had never done one myself. So I designed the base with two merged hexagons that measured 5.5 inches across in Silhouette Studio and cut the shape out  with my machine. I cut another hexagon in the same size from white cardstock for my topper. I added a 1/4 inch internal offset to the topper hexagon and cut the smaller one out of the purple patterned paper that was in my stash. I created the hexagon embellishment with Spellbinders dies and assembled it.

My focal image is from The Paper Shelter, is called "Autumn is Coming" and I printed it out onto Canson C' a Grain Drawing paper. I opted to change the scene from a fall scene to a magical one and colored the leaves in pastel colors. The girl's face and hair and the leaves are done in Prismacolor colored pencils and her clothes are done in gel pens. Once she was colored, I cut her out with a stitched hexagon die and added her to another hexagon cut out of craft foam with the same die. I then glued all the elements to the topper, arranging the little hexagons in line with the embellishment. I added some Wink of Stella to the little hexagons.

I completed the card with a sentiment stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and a hexagon stopper cut out of silver metallic cardstock and popped up with craft foam.

We are not usually so fast with our challenges, but this one just seemed to flow for both of us and so here we are. Please remember to pop over to BożenA's blog too and see her interpretation of the "Shapes" challenge. Leave her a comment while you are there.
