METHOD:
1. Take a 16cm x 27cm piece of white cardstock and score at 7cm and 14cm. Make a mountain fold at the 7cm line and a valley fold at the 14cm line. Position a hexagon die centrally over the first fold and die cut the piece. Cut two smaller hexagons from white cardstock.
2. Cut a thin strip of blue cardstock along the front piece. Sandwich blue thread between the white hexagon pieces and stick them together. Adhere the thread onto the front section near the fold and affix the thin strips of blue over them, keeping the thread taut.
3. Die cut a larger hexagon from patterned paper, trim in half and position onto the front piece. Die cut another hexagon from light blue and adhere on the back of the second section.
4. Die cut the flower layers and glue together. Add a set of flowers to each side of the hexagon. Using a different one for each side, stamp the sentiments on dark blue cardstock in Versamark ink and apply white embossing powder. Heat to set.
5. Add a panel of pink cardstock onto the end section plus a thin strip of green cardstock and a larger piece of patterned paper. Twist the element several times and lay the card flat so that when the recipient opens it, the hexagon will spin.
