Loving my HQCB #71 AG + theme choice of Easter with pink hearts DT card on 28 Feb 2025

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

why: In this posting I'm showcasing my newest HQCB or Heart's Quest Challenge Blog's design team inspiration project. This is my oldest challenge blog that I started and open until January, we'd been doing 2 themes per 30-31 days but now we're just offering one. Finishing our 3rd year!!! WOW!!! 

when: HQCB #71 Anything Goes with/+ Red and/or Pink Hearts for February 28 - March 27, 2025

what: Pink Hearts 

 

notes:

1. pink cardstock cut to 5.75" x 7" = Crafter's Square

2. pink felt heart sticker = Crafter's Square

3. stencil heart shape template was recycled Valentine candy box lid!!! 

4. Wild Thistle alcohol marker = Nuvo (very faint) 

5. print acrylic hearts (different sizes/shapes) = Heidi Swapp 2013 (bought last fall 2024 in a mystery clearance package from Peachy Cheap and was pleasantly surprised; it's been a wonderful addition)

6. pink, brown, gray paisley print paper = old scrap = The Paper Studio

7. pink 'stone' metal heart-shaped jewel sticker (from a package) = Crafter's Square

8. old Google Doc Scripture verse printed on pink copy paper; fussy cut with deckled-edge decorative scissors

9. "Easter" stenciled/traced using letters from other words on a stencil sheet = Crafter's Square

10. Red Umber colored pencil for felt heart outlining and stenciled/traced "Easter" - stash

11. cross sticker is an old Sunday School 3 design (lamb, cross, grave) set = very old stash

A. Just Us Girls; week 4/anything goes with stencil(s); MY Easter card has stenciled letter for "Easter" at the top right of the card; I also used a heart shape template to create the light tonal outline heart shape that I partially filled with the same "Lilac Thistle" alcohol marker for that faint look on pink cardstock
