Loving my HQCB #75 AG choice of farmhouse + blue heart + red hearts 28 June 2025

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

why: This posting showcases my newest HQCB or Heart's Quest Challenge Blog themes for #75. It's anything goes with blue and/or red heart(s). I chose to have one large blue heart, 1 medium red glitter heart, and 1 small white with little red hearts sticker. My anything goes choice was to feature this farmhouse ephemera along with a floral tag from the same ephemera pack that have blues and reds. 

when: #75 starts June 28, 2025 and ends on July 27th.

what: Project #1: (showing on the HQCB blog) A note to say 'you are loved' card

how-to notes for #1:

1. white A2 card size with envelope = pack from Crafter's Square

2. three patterned papers (red with white text, kraft beige with tiny flowers, navy blue with flowers) = SU

3. finger ink stamping (with my honorary granddaughter who is 3 years + almost 4 months old) to make the flower petals, stems and grass!!!! One color for each finger of one hand!!! She loved doing this! It was messy but she loved making crafts! We also got a similar one made for her parents!

4. stamp pad ink colors: Marina Mist, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, and Emerald Envy = all by SU

5. red and faded blue puffy heart stickers = Freckled Fawn
