Just love the technique !! Thanks for the inspiration and tips !!
Beautiful card!! Love the technique. :-)
Sweet card! Love the background! Thanks for the video
Lots of work but a great result. I can think of ways to use leftover pieces in shaped dies to build some interesting backgrounds.
Wow, such a detailed background! Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! Lots of work and lots of impact! Beautiful card!
Love this background. Hexagons are one of my faves.
Thank you for Day 4. It’s been a good week. The hexagons are really nice and there are so many things you can do with them creatively.
I think this turned out amazing…. love those tiny hexagons and your placement made it very playful. I could see using this for a lot of different cards. Would be great for that “male” that is sometimes hard to create! TFS and I have so enjoyed camp!
Thank you for email response on allowing multiple entries of any layout.

Was wondering if only 1 per challenge entry was allowed or multiples? If multiplies can they be similar in layout or have to be different? Please respond here & I’ll ck back.

The tiny pieces look wonderful the way you placed them. Thanks for the great tip to use the negative for placement.

I confess, backgrounds are the hardest for me. Love the samples!!
Clever idea for creating a unique background. Thanks for showing us how!
Great idea to use the die cut template for easy placement! The card is so cool and colorful!
Love the little hexes! What a cool technique to try!
Love the idea of using hexagon dies to create a dimensional background.
Great video on the die cut background – thank you for Day 4
Love Camp Create! The only camp I went to was basketball in high school. No crafts there. Lol!
