Sharing my OUAT design team inspiration card for May 2023 based on children's book ONE LOVE

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

This posting is for my love for mixing teaching and creativity through OUAT.

What: crafting friend, Deanne, started Once Upon A Time challenge blog last August with monthly prompts based on children's books

What is the May 2023 choice pick? Deanne selected Bob Marley's song-based "One Love". 

When: starts May 1, 2023

Show the design inspiration project:

My supply and vendor notes:

1. Thickers/American Crafts = "60" and birthday ticket

2. Pen + Gear = washi tapes

3. Hampton Arts ? for the wood and gold 'love'

4. Memento ink pads

5. stash items for the remaining red glitter heart shape stickers, white cardstock (5" square) and bright green cardstock (6" square)

The colors of white and green became my main two and then the washi tape with the little color dots is my nod to all the other bright colors on the cover. Then the jumbo font size of "One Love" became my next inspiration to interpret. At first I thought I'd just use a #1 but then I thought of my sister's upcoming late May birthday and decided to make it her #60. I had the Thickers birthday to use and I liked that it was a large font. And the wood with gold "Love" was in my Valentines stash box waiting for me! Two red glitter heart shape stickers, some inking, a lime green and white washi tape are more stash items to complete my card.
