HQCOLCB Preview Introduction One Month Before First Challenge inspiration projects for 2 Dec 2023

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

Purpose: these wedding or anniversary cards shown are sneak peeks for what to expect for the "EWA" themes each month at the new HQCOLCB!!!!

When: Preview Introduction is being published on December 2, and the first competition will be released on January 2, 2024!!!

What: "EWA" is Engagements, Weddings, and Anniversaries; there will be an optional occasion theme of 'new pet' that you can also do for a celebration of love entry.

I've got 1 card made with some of the same materials that I used for the Sneak Peek post: Stampin' Up papers and the same sentiment stamp.

On Your Special Day (neutral enough to be a wedding or anniversary occasion card)

Notes:

1. Navy blue cardstock = Art Skills

2. ivory cardstock = Neenah

3. floral patterned cardstock = Stampin' Up; also the 'Dapper Denim' ink pad used for the heart stamp is from SU

4. frame stamp = ? maybe Studio G

5. heart stamp= Raisin Boat

6. sentiment stamp= ? I think it is Hampton Arts

7. Arteza Everblend Art Markers (alcohol-based);
