One of my goals for 2016 is to participate in more of PTI's monthly blog hops and weekly Make-It Mondays. I was rethinking this goal, however, when January's blog hop inspiration with its modern design and bold colors presented a challenge for me.
To incorporate the repetition of shapes of the inspiration photo, I turned to PTI's Hexagon Cover Plate die as a starting point.
I cut Smokey Shadow cardstock with the coverplate die and filled in with Blueberry Sky, Spring Rain, and Aqua Mist. The diagonal strip is Summer Sunrise cardstock cut with Lil Inkers On the Diagonal die. Then I impressed it with PTI's woodgrain impression plate and applied Terracotta Tile ink with a blending sponge. The sentiment is cut in Smokey Shadow from the Uncorked Words die set.
This bold graphic design is not my usual style, so my feelings about it are mixed.

Very cool! :)
