Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: this posting showcases my newest owner/design team inspiration projects for HQCB or Heart's Quest Challenges Blog. #84's main theme is 'AWAHG' or Anything With A Heart Goes. There is an optional theme with specified heart color(s) of rainbow colors that are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue and Violet! We want folks to use at least 3 or more rainbow colors if you want to be considered for the "Favorite Option" brags recognition.
My Project #1 card has lots of pink toned hearts and a lavender puffy heart. Then my Project #2 card has 1 white heart with pink, yellow, orange and green dots for the rainbow option. I wanted to have spring season tones so that's why I'm using pink instead of red.
when: #84 starts March 28, 2026 and will end on April 27, 2026.

A beautiful card! Wonderful colors and a fantastic combination of papers. I love the black layers underneath. And those fabulous hearts! "Love your life"—truly a beautiful sentiment. I believe that's how one should live. Otherwise, one isn't content.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your card in the Everybody Art Challenge. Thanks for participating!

I really like your second card too. It's lovely to see how you arranged the pink stripes. This diagonal arrangement looks fantastic.
