Hexagon Rainbow Mother's Day card No.1

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my 2nd card for tonight and I made 2 cards using this same paper/die cut - the other is coming up and I used the negative (or positive bits, not sure which I'd say was which hehe). I was playing around with my new distress inks on thin watercolour paper and I really wasn't impressed with my first attempt. I almost threw this paper out but decided to die cut it instead with my hexagon die. I love how it looked when it wasn't all one straight piece. I also added a feather die cut, sequins and heat embossed a Mother's Day sentiment on vellum. I added the hexagon die cut to a double sided adhesive sheet and then added glitter to all the hexagon centres to look like glitter paper underneath.

A Teddy Bear's Mother's Day card (Bentley Bear image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's another card for Mother's Day, I received this stamp as a freebie with a magazine, how cute is it? The brand is Bentley Bear and it came in a set of 4. As always I coloured the image with Copic markers. I wanted to give the ribbon a relaxed feel rather than a rigid line so I scrunched it when I put it on the paper (having some double sided tape and a little glue on the card).

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - fave colour combos

The Crafty Addicts -  Anything goes/use ribbon

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - Anything goes with patterned paper
