Happy Hexagons And A Flower Pin

Happy Friday, I hope your week has been a good one. We are still experiencing record heat here and with no end in site. We had a small rain shower on Wednesday but we need a lot more. The state is so dry there are fires everywhere. Thankfully we are not near them but my heart goes out to all those people that have lost their homes especially the ones in Colorado Springs. I have lived here all my life and never remember it being this hot and dry in June. It is now the hottest June on record. Hopefully July will bring us cooler temperatures and the rain we need.
 Today I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend. She received it yesterday so I am safe to post it now. I am also entering in it this weeks Make It Monday which is to make your own embellishments.

When I saw the new Hexagon coverplate and matching stamps from Papertrey Ink I knew I had to have them. I love anything that has a quilted effect. I had a great time creating this card it was like putting together a little puzzle. I had a bit of trouble stamping the hexagon images but that was because I was using the older pigment ink from PTI which is thick and was not able to see where I was stamping but I was finally able to get the hang of it by putting a black piece of cardstock underneath. The embellishment which is a flower pin was created with Orange Zest Felt and the Loopsy Daisy Die. I also use the notched flower die for the Raspberry Fizz piece. I finished it off with a Hawaiian Shores button. I attached the flower to a piece of acetate so it can be taken off to wear. I will definitely be making more things with this cover plate and stamp set in the future. I hope your weekend is a great one and you stay cool where you are.
