Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: This posting showcases my newest design team/owner inspiration project for Critter Crazy Challenges, a crafting blog, that I assumed owner and administrator status about 13-14 months ago. This January completed my first year and we're just roaring along into my second!
One just never knows how and where and what I see sparks my creative muse! For about a year I've not touched a set of children's animal masks except to give a tiger one to the little girl we were babysitting on weekday afternoons. I thought I would the use the masks for Critter Crazy before this, but apparently other animal images/products have also sparked my imagination. My March critter is a lion.
The theme is always 'anything goes with a featured critter' or AGFC.
when: Critter Crazy #108 starts March 1 and runs through until March 25, 2026.
what: Project #1:
how-to & vendor notes for #1:
1. yellow cardstock (CS) is not quite a full sheet; about 6.5" deep x 8" wide = Astrobrights/Neenah
2. lion mask = from a mixed animal children's mask set = sold by Dollar General Stores (I added the black marker accents on the ears plus the paper and ink triangles for eyes + whisker ink lines + stars.)
3. brown scrap CS = tucked into the eye openings = Colorbok
4. gold glitter stars = part of a mixed gold star design set of stickers = Recollections/Michaels Arts and Crafts
5. tall gold metallic 'HI' puffy lettering stickers = Thickers by American Crafts
6. tiny gold puffy lettering stickers from Flags and Frills package = American Crafts
7. black fine tip marker pen = Sharpie (outlined the mask perimeter and the eyes; used to stencil the triangles; also draw the black lines on the ears)
8. black extra fine tip marker pen = Sharpie (for the whiskers)
9. black stamp pad = Hero Arts (to ink the yellow CS perimeter)
