HQCB BONUS Color Heart in Dark Blue 2nd Nautical CAS Version Card

June 12, 2022

This is Becca's Heart Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

This blog is to showcase cards I create for Heart's Quest and FarmQuest challenge blogs that I started earlier this year. Today's bonus card is to promote HQCB's Color Heart theme using dark/navy blue. Deadline is 12:30am CT/Chicago June 13, 2022.

*use a dark blue heart

(mine's not very obvious--look in the top 'opening' of the anchor)

AND

*use lots of dark blues in the rest of the project

With this bonus card that will also be linked to 2 CAS style challenges, I used dark blue in my stamped banners/flags, tracing the anchor stencil, and applying 2 different blue ink pads via sponges.

The kraft paper is blocking the scanner light of my printer. Diamond cut white glitter paper is the base. The featured panel is plain white cardstock. 3 white glitter dots were cut out additional white glitter cardstock. And then there are 3 light blue with white dot 'spots' hole-punched from a ribbon type decorative tape but these are hard to find in the photos, even the cropped closeup one. Overall dimension is 5" wide x 7" high.

This is the cropped focal portion of the card made last night so you can contrast. I used less background stamping, no glitter dots, no red, no colored pencil for the ribbon part of the stencil, and changed proportions a bit for Sunday night's card seen up above.

Besides the HQCB dark blue heart and lots of dark blue, the themes from 4 other challenge blogs are: CAS-dots, Seashore/inc. a stamp, World Ocean Day (June 8) with a stamp, and By the Sea.

I've got the 'water', faux boat/ship banner/flags and an anchor for the sea/ocean elements.

There are dots in some of the banners/flags.

Stamps used were the banners/flags one and the 'thinking of you' applied under the anchor traced stencil. Both of these are very old stamps that I've had for many years.
