Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity: My CCC #100 DT Animal Birthday Bash card for 1 July 2025

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

why: This posting features my newest owner/DT commitment project for CCC or Critter Crazy Challenges! #100 was set up by the previous owner to focus on having a birthday bash, so there is a change to the theme rule: Anything Goes with Featured Critter/animal BIRTHDAY.

when: #100 starts on July 1 and will end on July 25, 2025

what: Elephant at the circus "Happy Fun Birthday" card =

how-to notes &/or vendor info for my CCC #100 birthday DT card:

1. Little Birdie handmade embellishments = made in India = elephant, red stars, the clown and ticket booth (from the Circus theme package)

2. mid-blue puffy star and 2 different sizes of puffy dots = Freckled Fawn

3. Metallic Acrylic Blue and Silver/Gray paint = Crafter's Square (smooshed paint technique)

4. Extreme Silver Glitter Finish Acrylic Paint = FolkArt by Plaid (smooshed paint technique)

5. Navy Blue alcohol marker for sentiment = Arteza

6. navy blue glitter specialty paper = stash

7. white A2 size card was cut apart in order to have a raised focal panel; this raised panel has deckled-edging and the base panel has distressed (scissor blade used to rough up) edging = from pack by Crafter's Square
