FM148 Hexagons and Triangles

Hello and Happy Friday. I apologize for not posting this week but things are certainly busy around here. I have never spent so much time with my family but I have certainly been enjoying the time together.

This week Lynda's challenge stumped me. I was talking with my partner and I told him about the challenge and said I had no idea what to do. His simple answer "You can use triangles and hexagons on a bird house card". *ding ding ding* The lights went on and I went to work. I am so glad I have such a brilliant partner! 

I LOVE how my card turned out. I cannot wait to give it away and see the smile spread across my mom's face. 

Here's your Mashup Challenge:



1. Create a project with "Hexagons".
2. Create a project with "Triangles".
3. Create a project using "Hexagons" & "Triangles"



Wondering were the sentiment came from? 



I created the sentiment with MDS and printed it!!!! Thank you MDS!!!


Are you wondering how I did the birds eye?


To create all the dimension in the roof, bird house and bird I sponged around the edges using the same color of the card stock. It really helps to make everything pop.

  2. Very clever, Avery! Mashing at its best! Love birds and their houses so this card is so cool in my eyes! Love that scalloped roof- reminds me of a roof I made for a doghouse out of a stove box for VBS one year- brought back a fun memory for me!
