Happy Hexagons

Hexagons are so popular in papercrafting, so I wanted to use my Unity hexagons again.  This time I paired them with a new birthday stamp from my kit of the month that I haven't had a chance to use yet.  I wanted to give the hexagons some movement, so I made some floating away from the group.  I used these colors in the Play Date Cafe Challenge #142.
I painted the hexagons with my Twinkling H2O's, and then splashed some paint across the background paper with my wet brush.  These are great summer colors!

    Great use of the hexagon stamp - love that you cut a few of them off to float - I still haven't inked that one up yet - thank you for inspiring me to do so.

    Great job with the hexagons! Isn't that a fun stamp? Lots of possibilities with it. I haven't tried Twinkling Waters. Are they watercolors? I'll have to do some research on them as I love what you did with them.
