My MTTC #544 Autumn Colors Theme DT card on 4 October 2024

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: This posting showcases my newest contribution as manager/DT member of My Time To Craft challenge blog. A DT member has suggested the theme topic of Autumn Colors. Love it!

when: #544 starts Friday October 4, 2024 and lasts for 13 days.

what: "So Grateful In So Many Ways"

notes:

1. main focal panel is recycled mail from my husband's Medicare insurance provider!!! It's a Hallmark Business Connections product. I separated the front from the back and then tore the perimeter going in opposite directions on each side to vary the look

2. purple cardstock panel = Neenah

3. harvest gold color cardstock panel = Pen + Gear

4. gems and sunflowers (purchased at different times) = Crafter's Square

5. foam tape between the purple and harvest gold layers to give some dimension

Christmas or Not Bingo Challenges #6 for March 1 to April 15 project

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

purpose: this posting showcases my DT/co-owner contribution to the #6 competition for Christmas (or not) Bingo Challenges blog; the wonderful and delightfully talented Leslie T does all the work for the blog

when: #6 competition starts March 1, 2024 and ends April 15, 2024; the bingo board image will be seen further down in this post

what: Shiny Glittery Blue Christmas wishes

(column O = blue, free, smooshing, distressing, and no stamping) 

below: closeup to see the distressed edges on the paper's edges using the blade of scissors along with the smooshed paint on the circle focal backdrop (blue metallic acrylic paint and silver/gray metallic acrylic paint)

notes:

1. sticker labels/sentiments = Simple Life Vintage Woods by Simple Stories

2. blue and silver foil snowflake 'dazzles'/stickers = Hot Off The Press

3. bright blue cardstock for the base = Neenah

4. the mid-blue glittery specialty paper has bright pink glitter top application = scrap cut = D.T. (also the trimmed silver and blue tag focal)

5. stencil template was used for the circle focal backdrop = (old) Pebbles; the black 'film reel openings' marks were part of the stencil template; with all the blues and silvers, those black marks help visually create some definition

6. distressing on all cardstocks/papers with scissors blade

7. paint smooshing on circle backdrop accomplished using a scrunched textured paper towel
