HQCB Bonus card Color Heart Theme #5 using red as key color

 Hello! Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

On this blog I showcase my design inspiration projects for Heart's Quest and FarmQuest challenge blogs that I started earlier this year. This particular card is a bonus project made with only about 12-13 hours left in the current HQCB competition. Getting the word out about HQCB and FQCB as many ways that I can is my reason for making this CAS style through linking to 4 other current challenges!

Combining HQCB's red heart image and mostly red usage requirements with CAS kids, splatters (ink blots), summer mood board, and anything goes was accomplished within this card:


Details:

1. white textured specialty paper scrap for the base

2. 2 layers of white sketch paper were layered for the heart

3. pink, red, yellow, and orange markers were dotted on the right edge of the heart and then touched with water-soaked paper towel to diffuse a bit

4. 3 stamps were applied to the center of the heart; the heart in "I heart U" was filled in; tiny red dots added to the mailbox hearts, and the flap and outside edges of the envelope had more red applied

5. 2 little red hearts added.

6. a reddish-pink textured specialty paper scrap was used as a backdrop

For the challenges:

a. Heart's Quest needs at least 1 red heart and lots of red--check. check.

b. Addicted to CAS needs CAS and kids--check. check. (happy mail)

c. Make My Monday needs splatters--check. (ink blots, water drops, etc.)

d. Use Your Stuff needs summery items inspired by their photo--check. (summery colored ink dots)

e. Ally's Angels is anything goes so--check.

    Your ink drops and blotting are a unique touch and definitely works. Thank you for joining our MMM Challenge.

    I love the sentiment - such a cute card. I also love how you kept the colors to a minimum to let you elements shine. So glad you shared this with us at ATCAS this week
