Loving my AA #102 DT inspiration card for 15 January 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting showcases my newest design team (DT) inspiration project for Ally's Angels, a crafting challenge blog. The theme is always anything goes. I'm using the same 2 stamps that I did for AA #101 but the plants/frame stamp were inked with brown and TOY was the same blue, however the focal CS and base CS were lime green! 

when: #102 starts on January 15, 2026 and ends on February 12, 2026!!!

what: Project #1 = Thinking of You version 2 (same stamps used for #101)

how-to &/or vendor notes for #1 =

1. pink CS is actually a neon bright pink = Astrobrights/Neenah (cut to 5.75" square for base and the focal center CS cut to 4" square)

2. white CS cut to 5.25" square = Georgia Pacific

3. stamp pad inks of Narwhal/gray, Fish Tank/blue, Guava/pink-coral = Lawn Fawn 

4. black stamp pad ink  for frame stamp and also dabbed on the white = Hero Arts

5. green ink from marker = Art Skills/stash

6. light blue ink from alcohol marker = Arteza

7. paper towel strips were crumpled and ink then dabbed onto the white cardstock to create a colorful background frame = stash/home item

8. black fine tip marker = Sharpie for outlining

9. blue crystal gems = from pack = Crafter's Square

10. two stamps (plants arranged as a frame + T.O.Y) part of a 4 stamp set = Willow and Sage collection by Bo Bunny 2021
