6. pink cardstock and turquoise blue linen texture specialty paper = stash


PROJECT #2: using January fantasy focus option--> Yeti/Big Foot/Sasquatch

Note: I took over ownership of The Fairy and The Unicorn challenge blog on 11/11/2022. I've kept the name but did change the blog banner and badges for new brand identification. Having 4 other challenge blogs, I decided it would be best to extend the brand identification by adding TFATU to Heart's Quest as a sister blog, part of it's family of challenge blogs. 

In 2024, TFATU will be renamed to Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge Blog.

It is now being partnered as a sister/family blog to Heart's Quest Challenge Blog and Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love Challenges.

    Becca, what a fun "Yeti" card, and in keeping with the photo prompt--how clever to use the circle of trees on the card. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us at the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. Smiles, Kathy DT

    These are both amazing cards - and yes I would say both the Yeti and the Unicorn could be classed as animals :)

    Thanks for playing along both at Creative Moments and also I Love Promarkers.
