I had these little hexagon die cuts left over from a card I made a while ago and had them stacked on my desk. I was stumped on what to do for my friend when I looked over at the hexagons and thought I should make a flower out of them.
I didn't know what coloring the center would do since these were cut from a gray card stock, so I added a brad to the center. The punched border piece is actually a deep gray color but didn't come out that way in the picture. I cut the leaves from gray and inked them as well as the tag. As you can probably tell I hand cut the stem :)
