This is my take on the weekly challenge over at Studio Calico for May 21st 2012.
I really wanted to use my hexagon stamp in a new way for me so I stamped it out into a honeycomb on the pic of my lil one and then cut it out. I pop dotted the focal point of the image (my lil man sittin' up all by himself).
Its hard to capture in the photo but I actually clear embossed the mistable hexagons (it spells his name). Then rubbed them on an inkpad (misting them with the my hueys wasn't workin' for me). Also, the ones that are clearest are from my distress inks - for whatever reason they seemed to make the embossing pop better. I think I'll go back and re-do the other couple. You can see it best on the orange hexagon with the 'n' in it.
I added a title to the existing 'be.' word with some grey stamping from a CTMH alphabet stamp I have in my stash et voila a layout in the middle of the night while all my boys sleep.
Thanks for checking it out!
