Nice and colorful card. I always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.
No one does rainbows like Laura Bassen – this is gorgeous! Love that cray cardstock too.
Wow, Laura, this card is so vibrant and fun. Who’d have thought that you used a hexagon to create the patterns??? Very inspirational:)
Wonderful Colors~
This is one of my favorites from you! You amaze me with your talent.
Love this bright ranbow.
this card is awesome Laura – I already have a hexagon die – just need a stamp now! Great inspiration and I love the effect of the splatters too – no 2 cards exactly the same – just how I like it. TFS xx

Such an AMAZING design!! Love those rainbow colours too! Thanks to you, I’ve got a few new ink colours on my wish list as well!! :)
Laura, what a fun card. I love to use distress inks and I too have three tins of them but you had some colors that I don;t have so I may have to go shopping. LOL! Gorgeous design and for just eyeballing that hexagon you did an amazing job with the pattern. Have a wonderful day!
I do love it! The rainbow colors are perfect with the flicking. . .
Love the contrast of the bright colors and the gray.

Nice idea!
LOVE LOVE your card and how colorful they always are. Great stamping of the design using the hexagon stamp. I could never stamp straight even with a drawn line to guide me.
So fun and awesome with the rainbow colors! Love your work Laura, it is always so happy!
Laura, you make the lining up of the hexagons look so easy every time you stamp! Something tells me that when I try this, it won’t turn out the same way! :) That won’t stop me from trying though! Love how you did this, I would never have thought of using the hexagon that way. Your color blending is great and the contrast with the fog card base was perfect! Love it.
Ok now I NEED a hexagon stamp!
I love this, great design and love the bright colors.
Funny I just made (on Sunday) a hexagon card with a hexagon punch and a SSS card kit from a couple of years ago. I’m on a mission to use stash stuff
Stunning! The colours are so vibrant. Love the hexagons and the die.
I just knew this had to be one of Laura’s cards, even before I read the post. I love her rainbows! Gorgeous ink-blending, and a fun design!
Awesome card and beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing.

Oh this is so cool. I love the colors you picked and the water droplets over them. Great idea for the die cut too.
Pretty card!! Love all the colors:)
Love every one of Laura’s videos….she is so upbeat and makes fabulous cards too!!!
It is awesome, gorgeous and graphic, just as you said. Thanks for the great how-to video!
Awesome card, thanks for sharing!
