Loving my HQFCB #12 DT projects AGF theme choice gnomes plus option angels on 7 Dec 2024

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose/why: these two DT/owner projects are my December 2024 commitments to Heart's Quest Fantasy (the former TFATU) challenge blog. 

when: #12 for 2024 starts December 7, 2024

what: PROJECT #1 = AGF main theme choice of gnomes

and with the set of index cards being used for art journaling variation

notes for #1 = the metal ring index card set has the plastic cover with the elastic belly band/closure bought for $1.25 plus tax many months ago at one of my local Dollar Tree stores; made by Jot

1. standard index card size; however very thin, lightweight

2. five/5 ink stamp pads by SU used = chocolate chip/brown, rose red, pink pirouette, emerald envy and lemon-lime twist

3. clear stamps are all part of a set = Pixi Dust Designs

4. black ink stamp pad for the stamping = Hero Arts

and

what: PROJECT #2 = fantasy focus option of angels for December

ANGEL Messenger:

notes for #2 = 

21. angel/fairy image = Blessed Crafters freebie offered by Mynn K (have to join her FB group to have access to her weekly freebie images); I altered this a bit to make her more like a heavenly creature

22. the die-cut text was also altered with purple marker ink for 2 reasons: message emphasis on 2 key words and for the red lettering to go partially away and have the emphasized words in purple to match the angel's dress/robe = Pink Paislee

23. text strips = Simple Stories

24. gold bling border sticker = Crafter's Square

25. gold herringbone print cardstock = Recollections

26. glittery purple linen specialty paper = stash

27. royal blue cardstock = Neenah

D. angels = As You Like It; current; Gold? Silver? Glitter? favorite and why =

most of the time I like to mix metallics like I did on this Christmas card with lots of gold and some silver; for me, it's interesting to get the different tones of colors and sheens and makes for more creative attraction!
