Design inspiration

from FQCB owner Becca S

Card #1= porch bench with jugs of flowers and foliage; a 'faux' quilt is folded over the bench

This was a quick and easy card using most elements and white card base from a card kit by Simple Stories. The kraft and black checked patterned paper is an old stash item and made the perfect little 'faux' quilt to be draped on top of the bench. Small foam pieces were under the bench and the vase seen on the left to allow the other vase/mug die-cut to look like they were sitting behind. 

I was able to use both theme topic options because of the card kit and my perfect little 2-tone block print paper! Just remember, your project must include one or the other or both to stay submitted for bragging rights possibilities. 

_________

Competition time period is September 14-27, 2022 with the start and end times the same= 12:30am Central Time/Chicago.

***having an internet issue with Inlinkz at 12:15-12:20am CT, so I will publish this without a link and come back in later to edit it in. It might be minutes from now or a couple of hours. I have to leave at 7am to teach kindergarteners, so hopefully the delay of the link won't be too long of a wait. *****

FIXED! The Inlinkz was timing out. I had to wait and retry a couple of times in the last 30-40 minutes. 

Glad you are here! My apologies for the delay. Hope you will go on your treasure quests to find porch furniture and or quilt(s) for your projects!

Design inspiration:

*from Guest Designer Janis Lewis= old pickup truck featured on her autumn greeting card

This is a spectacular card! Terrific vibrant patterned cardstocks are used for the background to the pickup truck die-cut.

A bit about Janis' crafting adventures: 

Janis Lewis is the owner/administrator for 2 important Facebook groups for crafting bloggers: Paper, Paper, Paper and DT Calls and Craft Challenges and DT Calls. She also owns Crafting Happiness challenge blog, and serves on several design teams. Her personal crafting blog address is shown on her card's photo. Make sure to leave her some comment love at one of her places!

____________________

*from FQCB owner Becca S= straw hat and planter pot of daisies could be sitting on a farmhouse porch or a rural home's yard

Some vendor notes for the card: several elements are from Simple Stories card kit and then Fancy Pants Designs. The sentiment focal's white lettering was color-filled to add some bold tones to the card front. Blue ink edges the sentiment focal, paper 'ribbon' strip and the background panel. A bit of denim print paper scrap acts as a faux floor for the gardening objects. And a sweet partial metallic foil butterfly accents the 'sky' above the daisies.

Now hurry and do your craft questing through your supplies in order to create, post, and submit your entry on the Inlinkz tool address in the main posting on August 28th.
