Scrapology September Challenge - H is for Hexagons

This month we are featuring Katherine Sutton (Sutty) and our kit is MME,
Follow your Heart - Be Amazing
Details can be found on the Scrapology Blog here.

This is my page.

I masked a piece of 12x12 Kraft using the width of the tape as a border, then dry brushed with Vanilla Bean Acrylic paint.

 

Then painted a piece of bubble wrap with Lettuce Adirondak paint and pressed onto the paper.

  

My photo (6x4") is mounted onto another piece of Kraft. I cut random hexagons from the 12x12 sheet and placed them around the top left of the photo. Elements were cut from a few 6x6 sheets from a pad from the same range which were also placed around the edges.

The bunting is made from strips (from the 6x6 pad) of 2x1" which I snipped into.

The top edge was folded over two pieces of bakers twine and glued into place, the ends I have coiled and stapled.

Some of the Hexagons are on 3d foam for detail.

In my selection of smaller papers I had the above shape of hexagons so I cut it out to include the bird and swirl. I also ran a line of black fine-liner around the painted edge.

This is the 12x12 paper in the kit along with 2 sheets of Kraft.

There are also 4 random sheets from the pack below.

The kit is completed with some Vanilla Bean Acrylic paint and 2m of Bakers Twine.

A limited amount are available for sale via Cardinal Colours, please contact us if you would like more details.

Thanks for looking

Just the two of us...

Building Castles in the Sky,

Just the two of us,

You and I

I hadn't put a title on this page but the lyrics of the song above by Bill Withers seem to fit.

This is another layout I made at our recent retreat based on a class page by the talented Anita click on her name to see the original.

My version is not a lot different though as I fell in love with hers! :)

The papers are MME Follow your Heart - Be Amazing, previously I have blogged her other page using the pink set Be Happy.

Anyway, I chose to use these photographs taken recently at Bodium Castle, it's very rare to get nice pictures of either of us!

Below are some of the page details although this hexagon looks a little squished :(

I love all the little details she added like the string bows and baby butterflies.

This is the layout I based my Twilight on around too!

Thanks Anita for sharing another beautiful class, I really enjoyed making this one too.
