Ally's Angels Challenge Blog 10 October 2022 DT project

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! 

This post showcases the inspiration card I made for the #63 challenge at Ally's Angels that starts October 10, 2022. AACB always has "Anything Goes", so there is no prescribed theme. 

I've needed a couple of sympathy cards, sadly, and this one I decided to have an autumn seasonal color palette and embellishment shapes. 

Autumnal Sympathy card:

I was hoping the closeup cropped scan would show those corner gems as orange! They're looking more olive green with a bit of orange. 

The plaid cardstock is packaging backing from "Cozy Christmas" by Fancy Pants Design. Each time I've seen the plaid since getting part of the collection this summer, I think autumn instead of winter/Christmas. So I've coordinated items from my stash to compliment the plaid.

MTTC #492 Theme of Geometrics Design Team Project for 7 October 2022

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! This posting showcases the inspiration card I made for my Design Team commitment with My Time To Craft challenge blog. The theme for #492 is geometrics! Friday October 7-Thursday October 20, 2022 is the competition period for MTTC's #492. 

My mind kept going to Halloween--pointy triangular witches hats, round pumpkins, triangular bundles of corn stalks, and many other possibilities. Then I thought of kids birthdays. But my cardmaking process was a bit backwards with this one. I used some old patterned papers to give me the design direction for "On Point" thinking of you card. A bit of a subtle pun given the star points and triangle points of the patterned papers. 

shapes used:

1. rectangles of deep orange cardstock, black cardstock, and the triangle/diamond print paper; and I guess the blue glitter washi tape would also qualify as a rectangle

2. square= bright blue paper

3. circle= star print paper

4. star/print paper

5. triangles & diamonds made/print paper
