Hello! PTI MIM and MORE!

 I finally had a chance to play along with this week's Papertrey Make It Monday Challenge.  The kids and I along with friends spent all day at Paramount's Kings Dominion on Wednesday!   I spent the better part of Thursday washing clothes and equalizing my equilibrium!  Bahahaha!   Can you believe Kings Dominion is Celebrating 40 years?  I actually remember going when it was new.   Took in a show that was a walk down memory lane.  Do you remember the singing mushrooms?  I am not sure which concerns me more....the fact that I went to a show(I keep telling myself it was because it was hot and the theater had air conditioning), the fact I enjoyed the show, or the fact it has been 40 years and I remembered it all!  Good grief! 

Anyway, for this week's Papertrey MIM Challenge we are to do pop up die cuts!  After looking at this week's Retro Sketch, I thought why not just use the whole hexagon cover plate!  Once it came together I actually like the look of portions cut out and portions popped up.  I did do it with pop ups from the bottom to the top, but liked the vertical look better.  I am playing along with this week's Colour Me Challenge as well.  Just love these colors!  I stamped the eggplant/purple color using the PTI large houndstooth print background in Ranger Watermark ink.  I then used the the mini hexagon set and stamped the pieces using watermark ink onto the aqua mist die cut card stock.  I assembled the in laid portions to mimic the sketch with solids at the bottom.  

I added the "hello" die cut which I cut three times and glued on top of each other for added thickness.  I added some loose thread to behind sentiment and literally just hung it on the cut out hexagon shapes.  I did add a few drops of glue. The little bow was cut out using the hydrangea die set in vellum twice.    I rolled the edges a bit and fastened to  card with glue dot and added some sequins throughout for some sparkle, of course.  I love the way it turned out.  I am playing along with this week's Simon Wednesday Challenge:  Let's Be Clear!  Acetate or vellum as well as The Catered Crop:  For a Friend,Virginia's die cut Challenge and Simons Monday Challenge to start from scratch! 
Moxie Fab has a "Wonderful Words Challenge"

I am also using these other products on my card.    TomBow Mono Aqua Liquid glue, and Watermark/Resist Ink Pad & re-inker from Ranger. 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
