Best Wishes and Sweet Dreams with TFATU DT card for July 2023

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! This posting showcases my fascination for fantasy creatures and characters, fairy tales, and accessories attached to any of these. Today's Acorn House might just have a wee fairy living inside. Or maybe a gnome. 

WHAT: TFATU is The Fairy and The Unicorn Challenge Blog; #7 for 2023; Anything Goes Fantasy

WHEN: July 1-31, 2023

SHOW and TELL: Dreaming at the Acorn House card


1. The Paper Shelter = Acorn House digital image printed on light yellow paper

2. at least 8 different colored pencils used to enliven the ink image

3. mushroom/toadstool print cardstock is from Craft Consortium

4. rust and green marbled cardstocks = Recollections

5. dark brown cardstock 6" square base = Art Skills

D. As You Like It challenge blog; started June 29; What's favorite: Plain or Patterned Paper and why; my card choice was for the mushroom patterned cardstock to be featured behind the acorn house because of the fantasy imaginative dream idea that there just might be a little gnome or fairy living in the acorn house, or hiding behind a mushroom; the patterned paper adds to the woodland/forest vibe

    Wonderful image, I would not have thought to print it on yellow paper, I'm stuck in the mindset that you have to print on white! Looks really nice, thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks!

      Thanks, Melanie!! I wanted something different than white! :) I was thinking of having a yellow light glow in the windows as if candles were lit within!
