I've always liked honeycomb paper items. This week I watched some videos to learn how to make them. It was fun to find out that I really could do this. So here is my first attempt. I made a small pumpkin because I knew I wanted to use it on a gift tag.
I didn't have any light weight orange paper so I took printer paper and rubbed it with Distress Oxide inks in order to turn it orange. Using a pumpkin shaped Spellbinder die, I cut out at least 24 pumpkins, gluing them together per instructions.
Before adhering the pumpkin to the tag (with Scoretape) I rubbed Peeled Paint Distress Oxide onto the tag. The leaves are Impression Obsession. The sentiment is Whimsy.
I love this pumpkin. I think I will try an apple because I have apple shaped dies too. If it turns out, you may see it on one of my posts.

Well creating a honeycomb shape is something I've never tried! What a darling tag -- that pumpkin is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I love the pumpkin. I don't think I would have the patience to die cut and then put together 24 pieces, but the result is a beautiful tag. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteoh, what a lovely tag!
