I played Craft Roulette on April 24th

  Craft Roulette April 24th Challenge

I finished this card this morning but didn't have the time to post until late tonight.  I will definitely remake this, but I know it will be totally different from this card, which is growing on me. 

I made a diagonal cut, chose brown for the earth and yellow for the sun creating a calm summer's day, as well as using a bee hive die cut.  I found a small letter in one of my stamp sets and I think it has turned out to be a very cute card.

Here are the parameters below

I used a pen to define some of the hexagons and filled others with Nuvo drops to make it more interesting.  Enjoy your day.

The End of the April Challenge at Die Cut Divas

 April Sponsor for Die Cut Divas is Altenew

Altenew will present a $30 gift card to the winner of this months challenge at Die Cut Divas.

Be sure to enter your project by 9:00 p.m. Pacific time tonight. 

The Challenge is to make an Anniversary or Birthday Card. 

Remember to use a die-cut or dry embossed item in your submission. 

I don't think I've ever used this Altenew stamp and die set.  I picked it up when Altenew had one of their great sales and couldn't resist it.  I know I'm not a flower girl, but I did love this set.  I haven't used the Arches for something like this either, but I love it.

Supplies:
Altenew Paint-A-Flower Magnolia Rustica Rubra stamp & die set (no longer on site)
Arch die - unknown brand bought about 20 years ago - lost brand
Copic markers
Vagabond die cut machine

This was a fun card to make.  As a mater of fact, I made myself a cup of hot chocolate right after I finished it.  It's just too bad I didn't have any toppings to put on it.  You might say my smile turned upside down.
