Loving this AACB #82 DT anything goes theme oversized card on 15 May 2024

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: AACB is Ally's Angels that Leslie T and I agreed to co-own about 18 months ago. We didn't want to have an anything goes competition blog closing down in blogland. In February, I decided that for many months of AACB projects going forward in 2024 that I would be using stamps in my stash that I've neglected. 

when: #82 starts May 15, 2024 (used to be on the 10th of each month)

what: "Just Fluttering By to Say Hi!" oversized greeting card

notes:

1. light gray cardstock for focal panel = Neenah 

2. dark purple marbled cardstock = DCVW

3. purple with an almost white Moroccan tile design paper = Art Skills

4. stamps (3 sizes of butterflies, 2 font variations for the sentiment, 2 sizes of dragonflies, and rose) = My Sentiments Exactly

5. leaf stamp and posy stamp = 

6. two sizes of posies from a stencil sheet = Crafter's Square

7. three pieces of jute twine were inked and pressed in different places and positioning to mimic stems

8. "Lobster" and "Sugarplum" small square ink pads = Lawn Fawn

9. "Berry Burst", "Fresh Fig", "Lemon-Lime Twist", "Emerald Envy" ink pads = Stampin' Up

10. scrap piece of bright blue cardstock = also Neenah

11. also 2 little pompoms were pressed in the "Lobster" and the "Emerald Envy" for little round flower buds
