Best Wishes and Sweet Dreams for HQFCB #9.5 Midway DT Projects on 20 Sept 2024

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: This posting showcases my love of creativity in all aspects, real or make-believe! It's hard to believe that I've owned HQFCB (the old TFATU) almost 2 years!!! Yes. November 11th. Competition #9 started September 7th and the theme is always anything goes fantasy! The September fantasy focus option is Pegasus. 

when: HQFCB #9.5 is the midway post published on September 20, 2024; deadline is September 30. 

what: PROJECT #1 = mix of fantasy creatures



notes: #1

1. base floral paper 6" square = SU

2. beige/tan cardstock and the neon orange (scanned butternut squash) cardstock = Pen + Gear

3. image (minus the handwritten cursive sentiment) was created using AI; how cool is that??!!!!!!!!!; I entered into the generator 'fantasy creatures gathered around an acorn house' and this is 1 of 4 images that were created. I had to edit for the brightness and contrast. 

4. black fine tip gel pen = Art Skills

5. black ink pad = Hero Arts

6. Red alcohol marker = Arteza

AND

what: PROJECT #2 = September focus option of Pegasus


notes: #2

11. blue cardstock and purple cardstock = Neenah

12. image was AI digitally-created then saved then sized before printing to an almost 4" square on white paper; bright pink sticky notes are hidden underneath to help with some of the whitish part of the clouds and wings

13. Navy Blue alcohol dual-tip marker = Arteza for edging

14. white paint pen and silver metallic paint pen = Art Skills

15. jumbo dots and glass beveled cut gems = Crafter's Square
