My MTTC #560 DT Square Shape-Based Card theme project on 16 May 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting's focus is for my manager/DT commitment to My Time To Craft. We're just past the halfway point in our shaped-card bases required themes! Another team member decided to do square shape. My background is smooshed paint technique; this is a top layer applied to the 'base/main' layer with the paint. After pressing down this light yellow cardstock to smoosh the paint a bit, I peeled up the yellow cardstock layer from the bottom right corner and went on a diagonal path which pulled the paint causing those vertical lines/ridges!!! Cool!!  

when: #560 starts May 16, 2025 and lasts 13 days.

what: Celebrate Sunshine Flowers Birthday Card

how-to notes:

1. Pewter Gray acrylic paint = Apple Barrel

2. Neon Pink acrylic paint = Crafter's Closet

3. Green acrylic paint = Crafter's Square

4. Metallic Gold acrylic paint = also Crafter's Square

5. cardstocks were trimmed just under 6" square original size at 5.5" for the background layer and 5.75" for the base = Art Skills

6. Green embroidery floss = Coats

7. Gold sequins in 2 different sizes = metallic sequin pack = Crafter's Square

8. Layered/pop-up dimensional flower stickers = Crafter's Square

9. Gold metallic "Celebrate" puffy lettering = Thickers/American Crafts
