Can you watch a baby discover the joys of stacking items over and over again? I think about the skills that they are developing with just a few objects and am simply amazed. I think most of our fine motor skills were developed with the simple building block, and that today, as adults, we still can learn from building blocks.
This card features Hexagon-A-Thon from Schlosser Designs and a bit of Divine Twine available at the uber talented Ryann Marin's Etsy Store. Love it. (Hint: It also is a predecessor to some fun things that will be available right here on my blog very soon!)
Supplies Used: Cardstock: (Kraft, Cream) PTI Clear Stamps: (Hexagons from Hexagon-A-Thon) Schlosser Designs, (Sentiments from Chatterbox) Practicing Creativity Designs Ink: (Pink Chalk) Colorbox (Versamark) (Antique Linen Distress) Ranger Other: (White Embossing Powder) SU, (Green Bakers Twine) Divine Twine

ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous card! I love the purple-y color you used and the bakers twine.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty..love the pink. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Karen. Love the way you stacked the hexagons -- and the insights on building blocks. I love seeing what the kids at the preschool build in the block centers. One year we had a set of identical twins (4 year olds) who built identical and very detailed towers. Definitely had to take a picture of that one. And the girls last year (also 4 yrs old) who worked together to build a shopping mall very similar to the upscale one down the road from the school, complete with underground parking. Love the block center, love your card!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you and love that card ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the kraft with the pink and white.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute! love the slightly distressed look and just love pink + kraft! fabulous design, too!
ReplyDeleteThose stacked hexagons make such a perfect element for a baby card! LOVE IT! Ooooo...and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!!! The anticipation is killing me!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!! Love the pink on craft with the twine. so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love the white embossing on these hexagons. And the twine just adds so much more yummy texture. Beautiful card!
