Featuring my FQCCCB #13 Anything Goes Country Christmas card for 7 October 2024

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

purpose: This posting focuses on a new inspiration sample for FQCCCB which has an Anything Goes Country (rural/outdoors/exterior) Christmas topics theme. We want outdoors wintery season landscapes, nature in the snowy/icy conditions, exterior holiday decorations, etc. 

when: #13 for FarmQuest Country Christmas starts October 7 and ends on November 5, 2024

what: Peace at the farm for Christmas

notes:

1. buffalo plaid cardstocks = The Paper Studio

2. focal panel --->> recycled/upcycled old boxed card retrieved from storage at my mom's house; doesn't have a year date but was produced by American Greetings ==>> did a few simple alternations to change it slightly:

3. foil star stickers in copper, gold, and red = old stash item; maybe Crafter's Square

4. multi-color & print alpha stickers = very old stash items; not sure of the vendor

5. cardstock edges were trimmed a small bit then distressed a bit with scissors blade then ink edged with a red alcohol marker by Arteza
