From The Ashes #2

This is my second From The Ashes card, where I use only stuff out on my desk, which means it's mostly cast-offs from other projects that I couldn't bear to throw away. My first From The Ashes card is here, and here's #2:

This one is for three (yes, THREE) challenges:

Moxie Fab World: Happy for Hexagons

Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown Color challenge: Teal or Turquoise 

Colour Me challenge:

Okay, okay, I took some liberties with the definition of "teal", but my hexagons were cut from a light pool color, which is really teal, if you think about it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Because of all that blah blah blah, here's the card again so I can explain:

First I cut the hexagon background from a piece of Hero Arts Shallows paper that was laying next to my paper cutter. Then I cut it again from pieces of red, grey, black and white so I had a few hexagons of each of the colors. I stuck the pool frame to the white base, fit in the not-pool colors, then filled the rest with pool pieces. I then went around with my glue and Pick-Me-Up tool and applied glue under each piece.

The sentiment is from a new Lil' Inker set (linked below) that I had to have, even though I rarely make wedding or engagement cards. I think it's the font that sold me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go link this baby to three challenges. Then I might stamp again. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
