Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: This will be my fifth (#1E) and last bonus inspiration project for the starter month of the new challenge blog, FQHCB, or FarmQuest Home Challenges Blog. The theme is anything home goes. This is broad, inclusive for inside or outside of a house. For this shaped Christmas card, the front and partial side view of this holiday home focuses on the exterior. There are window shutters, some bric-a-brac trim, some stone foundation, wood porch and a few low plants on each side of the porch. The front door has a wreath.
when: #1 started on September 2nd and the deadline is at the start of Sept. 30, 2025.
#1E bonus will be published on Sept 25th.
what: Project #1E =
how-to & vendor notes for #1E =
1. Bo Bunny = holiday home die-cut ephemera and dark green print paper to make simple pine trees
2. Pen + Gear = red cardstock (sketched to be about 1.5" larger than the holiday home ephemera
3. Hot Off The Press = dazzles/stickers = little silver foil snowflakes
4. Georgia Pacific = white cardstock scrap torn to be a snowdrift
5. Hero Arts = black stamp pad ink used for edges of papers/cardstocks
6. Zebra Clickart = dark brown retractable marker pen for outlining
7. Simple Stories = from The Simple Life sticker book = 2 text strip stickers
8. stash = mechanical pencil, ruler, black ink pen (pencil for a bit of shadowed path in front of the steps in the snow; black ink pen for thin spirals of smoke out of both chimneys)
