Best Wishes from HQFCB (was TFATU) #6 fantasy theme DT projects on 1 June 2024

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

purpose: this post is for my growing love of transforming fantasy creatures/characters for lots of occasions in paper-crafting ---> Heart's Quest Fantasy challenge blog is the place to do that. 

when: competition #6 (June 1-30, 2024) has its main theme as anything goes fantasy and the June fantasy focus option is Fairy. There is a special bragging right badge presented to 1 DT-selected fairy entry. All entries are eligible for Overall Winner/Guest DT invite and the Top 3 Picks.

what : 

Project #1: anything goes fantasy choice of unicorn

and closeup: there is a pale pink/lilac on the tip of the horn and for the ears but my scanner lighting has faded; also a silver metallic crayon was used to color the body of the unicorn

notes:

1. image is a free coloring page type clipart

2. image is colored with a variety: alcohol markers by Arteza and Nuvo; watercolor marker for hooves and nostrils; silver crayon for unicorn body

3. blue cardstock scrap = Neenah

4. black cardstock base = Art Skills

5. metallic specialty papers = stash

6. silver foil lettering stickers = Freckled Fawn (I chose the word rest because I have several family members who are either declining due to age and/or healing from recent falling; hernia surgeries; etc.)

Project #2: June 2024 fantasy focus option of Fairy=

and closeup for glitter paint (light lime green) for the window/lights and fairy wings
