NEW FEATURE! Inspire Me Tuesday

Hey look, we have a new feature at My Creative Time! Tuesdays will be our day of inspiration projects. Snap a pic of something that inspires you, create a project from that inspiration piece, and share the pic on your blog with your finished project. I hope YOU will be inspired too!

Here is my finished creation...

I used the stitched hexagon button dies by My Creative Time, but didn't just stop there. I stamped them with the tiny polka dot and argyle background stamps from the Coffee Backgrounds set. Sentiment is from the Life is Good stamp set. If you look closely, you can also see the mesh stamp from the Build a Banner set.

And if that isn't enough, I added even more texture to the other side of the card using the Paper Trey Ink hexagon embossing die.

...and here is my inspiration. This is the scratch paper I use under my stamping pieces and for testing colors.These colors are so pretty together and I'm falling into the hexagon trend, as you can see. I liked them with the dots, and thought they would be nice on card so .... voila! .... birth of a new design team feature!
