FQGS #6 July 2023 REMINDER DT inspiration card

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity! Some challenge blogs are having Christmas in July so that's part of the reason why I stash-quested this card as shown.

WHAT: FarmQuest General Store challenge blog #6/July 2023 reminder; extra DT inspiration by me for my anything farm or country goes theme blog

WHEN: the #6 competition started July 7 and will end August 5th; reminder posting published on July 21

Time change for FQGS starting with August 7th challenge, #7, will start at 12am CT/Chicago or 6am UK.

SHOW and TELL:


1. black cardstock base about 8.5" wide x 5.75" high approx. = Neenah

2. Western USA ranch/mountain scene = upcycled/recycled wrapping paper received from a swap partner as an extra 

3. the tree pulled by the horse was not colored so I used a dark green watercolor pencil to add more pine green to the card and also put some focus on that tree 

4. western cowboy boots image printed on kraft paper and colored with 4 hues of watercolor pencils = freebie image from Pattie's Creations a couple of months ago

5. text box sentiment made by me 

6. dark chocolate brown ink pad = Memento

(in mid-August I'm returning to teaching after being recruited by an area assistant superintendent to teach this new school year as their 7th grade math teacher!!! So in July and August, I'm reducing my DT commitments from 12 to 8. The 8 that I will remain with are: FQGS, FQCB, HQCB, TFATU, AACB, CBCB, MTTC, and MTTCC.)
