Featuring FQCB #26 theme of bandanas

 Howdy! Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country blog! 

What: this is one of 2 personal paper-crafting blogs and this posting features my newest DT make for FarmQuest

Why: Theme #26 is the classic and iconic western wear (farming/ranching) bandana; there are several variations with most of them having a paisley type design print.

When: April 14-27, 2023

Happy Birthday Bandana card=

Notes:

1. black cardstock 6" square; caramel cardstock 5" square; both stash

2. bandana print clip art image (free from Clipart Library website) printed on white cardstock, cut to 4.5" square; from stash

3. die-cut sunflower = stash

4. torn strips of barn siding paper = Hot Off The Press/Paper Wishes website; set is a newer stash item

5. brown paper for tag is a recycled pharmacy bag from Wal-Mart, punched

6. tag punch and the Mementos ink pads (cantaloupe and nutmeg) were gifted to me about a month ago

7. "HB" stamp is an old one from Stampin' Up

I love it when I can mash-up old stash items with newer items to create a pretty card!!!
