Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: This post's focus is my newest manager/DT commitment project for MTTC or My Time To Craft, a paper-crafting/hybrid/digital card challenge blog! We're getting close to ending our shaped base card(s) required theme series. Another DT member selected 'oval' for the #562 theme. And again I decided to embrace ovals with 4 of them layered on this card! = green cardstock oval base, the aqua inked chipboard wreath, the "Fresh Fig" inked oval seen partially under the left side of the chipboard wreath and a napkin print oval layered on the inked oval to the center and right side under the chipboard wreath!!!
when: MTTC #562 starts on June 13, 2025 and lasts for 13 days.
what: An Oval Garden Delight card
how-to notes:
1. green cardstock cut to oval (a bit skewed/wonky but close) = old Pen + Gear
2. white cardstock scrap cut to smaller oval = Georgia Pacific
3. white cardstock oval inked ===> "Fresh Fig" stamp pad by S.U.
4. napkin (partial panel of folded napkin) cut same size as the white/inked oval = Lenox (received for a napkin swap in a Junk Journaling group a few years ago)
5. enamel dots = Freckled Fawn
6. gold foil puffy heart = part of a Thickers package/American Crafts
7. pink pearls and jumbo dots = different packages by Crafter's Square; also 2 green crystal gems
8. chipboard wreath, 3 flowers and 1 dragonfly = part of an 11 piece set = Hot Off The Press via Paper Wishes website
9. layered purple flower (pop-up) stickers = Crafter's Square
10. Pea Green alcohol marker by = Arteza
11. Lilac Grey alcohol marker = Nuvo
12. Beach Blue alcohol marker = Arteza
13. teal green/blue marker = not sure/watercolor type = stash item
14. semi-circle embellishments help disguise the edge of the napkin

DeleteIt's beautiful, Becca. I love dragonflies! The other day however I was freaked out by one buzzing around my head while on my back patio. Tried to run inside as it was huge and the thing got into the house at the same time I opened the door LOL. Luckily it flew right back outside.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you at my Garden Party with this wonderful creation!
