Welcome to the Mediterranean Achievers Blog Hop for February. I love participating with some of the other WORLD'S TOP DEMONSTRATORS! That's right - this hop features Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world. All of us have earned a FREE 7-night Mediterranean Cruise for TWO with Stampin' Up! I'm sad to say I chose to "cash out" of the cruise again this time around. But, I'm glad I still get to hop with these wonderful folks!
If you're just joining the hop, this month's theme is "One For the Guys". I think that's a theme that most of us struggle with. I put off designing a card for today's hop for weeks. Seriously. I knew I didn't want to use any of the image stamps from the Occasions Catalog or Sale-a-Bration brochure since I thought it was likely that my other hoppers would be using them. And, I wanted something different. None of the images from the Annual Catalog jumped out at me. That's when I stumbled upon Six-Sided Sampler. When I spotted the hexagon patterned paper in the Go Wild DSP Stack, the deal was sealed!
I decided simple was better, but added a few embellishments/special touches. I added some heat embossing to the Tip Top Taupe hexagon. I stamped the dotted outline and added a button to the Whisper White hexagon. And, I chose to keep the Basic Black hexagon plain since I knew my sentiment would be layered over it.
What do you think? I'll tell you one thing I regret not considering when making this card - the direction of the hexagons on the DSP. Did you notice that they're at a different angle than my punched hexagons. I'm a very matchy-matchy person so it kind of bothers me. (Clearly it didn't bother me so much that I felt the need to remake the card.) What do you think?
