back to the drawing board

it's been a while since i've participated in any card making challenges - so i decided to join in on the taylored expressions maker challenge they host each month. the challenge for june is to make a card that includes at least one of the following: an item from the junk drawer, the color yellow, and/or a hexagon. i was able to incorporate all three into my card with the green wire used for the flower stem coming from my junk drawer.

a stellar father's day card for my dad! to create the starry sky background i inked up a piece of cardstock with some of my favorite distress oxide colors & heat embossed the stamped stars along with the sentiment. the little mouse & his telescope were stamped onto a few scraps of patterned paper & then pieced together.
