Loving the country charm of FQCCCB #2.5 Midway Reminder DT project

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

Purpose: this posting is to showcase my reminder owner DT projects (#2.5) of the new FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge Blog

When: Midway point = November 21, 2023; competition #2 started November 7 and will end on December 5, 2023

What: CARD #1= Moose on the Loose!! :)

Notes:

1. four inches x six inches white cardstock with left side fold; unbranded; Amazon 

2. print cardstocks, die-cuts, and stickers = Feelin' Frosty collection by Simple Stories

3. several colors of markers = Arteza Everblend Art Markers

4. pinkish-lavender marker = Nuvo 

5. turquoise cardstock background = Astrobright

6. white cardstock scraps to make snow mounds = Neenah; Arteza Everblend Art Markers' sapphire blue applied to the torn edges of snow mounds to get that sky reflection and depth on the mounds

7. glitter glue in purple (pinkish magenta) = Art Skills (used under a snowflake die-cut)

and

project #2 = trio set of gift card holders

Notes:

1. green cardstock = Astrobright/Neenah; gift card holders were designed by me--I created my own pattern template

2. die-cuts for all three = Simple Stories ephemera and bit pieces package from Make It Merry

3. gold star stickers = Hot Off The Press

4. pinkish red glitter decorative tape = stash box

5. brown, yellow, pear green, and red ink pads= Memento; were applied to the green cardstock to give it a weathered paint effect

6. detail fine point tip black marker pen = stash; to outline shapes on the die-cuts for added distinction and to handwrite the "to" and "from" on each tag/label die-cut
