With mine I wanted it to look like he was in lush grass so I took my embossing folder and after embossing rubbed the ink pad over it to give it some depth and bring out the design a little more, I used a white marker for his eyes that I bought at Target in their $ section and added a little black pen to that. His antennas are flower stamens that I colored black with marker and taped to the back side of the head. Punched out the grass for a little in front of him also.
Diamond Press -- Hexagon dies came with magazine
Cuttlebug -- Floral screen embossing folder
Fiskars -- Grass punch
Hero Arts -- It's your day sentiment stamp
It has me wondering what other things can be made out of the hexagons, I have seen flowers, can't remember if I have done a card with them though, you maybe seeing one of those soon :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and let me know you did!

Cute wish-granting caterpillar! I love it!
Could use the hex's for honeycomb and stick a bee on somewhere...I think bees are s'posed to signify prosperity.
Really fun idea, I really like the grassy embossed area in the background too. Clever!
what a fabulous idea, Connie! xo

Oh what a cute & clever idea Connie!
Ha! Those hexagons make a perfect caterpillar and he has so much personality! Love how you gave him the antennae and put him in the grassy setting. He really looks like he's crawling through a lush lawn. Kind of like our lawn since Rich fertilized and then it's been raining all week and he hasn't been able to mow. It looks like a jungle out there! Super cute card, Connie!
What an adorable way to use Hexagons Connie.
Hugs Diane
Connie you are clever. This is superb.
Wow Connie that is brilliant!
Love the way those hexagons work.
Perhaps you could use hexagons with a bee theme and honeycomb?
Have a lovely weekend
All the best Jan
