Hexagon Birthday - Stampin' Up!® Month By Month

 I'm finally getting around to making a card with the color combination that I challenged my customers to use almost 2 weeks ago.  I forgot to write a note to remind myself to use these colors and you know what happens if I don't write something down???  Yup, it doesn't happen! So a day (or many!) late and at least a few dollars short I've got a nice masculine birthday card for Testosterone Tuesday!

  I love how the Heartfelt Hexagon punch lines up so nicely to give a beautiful tiled background. I punched out several hexagons in each of my colors (Misty Moonlight, Shy Shamrock and Pecan Pie).  For the Shy Shamrock and Misty Moonlight hexagons I stamped them using some of the small accent stamps that are in the Month By Month stamp set that is included with the Month By Month Scrapbooking Album Retreat (which is still available to order if you're interested in getting 24 pages done!!).  The Pecan Pie pieces are embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder.  I sponged some Pecan Pie ink along the edges for more depth.

  I alternated the colors across and down the card front and trimmed off the overhanging bits.  The sentiment from Simply Said is stamped in Misty Moonlight on a thin strip of Basic White.  A few Shy Shamrock sparkle gems are the final detail.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
