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
