FarmQuest #46 Quote from Martha Washington to Inspire Theme starts 14 February 2024

February 14, 2024

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

purpose: this posting showcases my DT/owner commitment to FQCB for almost 2 years!!! Woo-hoo!!

when: #46 takes a different farm/country theme approach by getting inspired by a quote from Martha Washington, the USA's very first First Lady during February 14-27, 2024

what: I chose to focus on the part "busy as bees". This garden/field scene was printed as black on the ivory background and had 2 little bees and 2 butterflies surrounding the wildflowers. From 2 different companies' ephemera, I found 3 more bee die-cuts to add

a very close-up to see glitter =

notes:

1.The Simple Life by Simple Stories = full page of the 'picture frame's wildflower scene had no color, just the tan of the 'frame'

2. Hero Arts black ink pad = inked edging

3. a combination of watercolor markers, alcohol markers, colored pencils supplied the color; additionally the butterflies were given a top layer of green glitter paint pen

4. the 2 higher placed bee die-cuts = Carta Bella

5. the lower placed bee die-cut = Fancy Pants Designs

6. green cardstock based is almost 6.5" x 8. 25" = stash; edges distressed with scissors blade; also green glitter paint pen applied

where: FarmQuest #46 use Martha Washington's quote listed in the blog post to inspire your project(s) =
