Table for Two anniversary card

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity!

why: Before July ends, I wanted to get a 'just for fun' non-design team commitment creative project made. Well, it came down to creating the card on July 30 and then staying up into the wee midnight hours of July 31 to do the blogging! :)

when: card's blog post was started on July 30 and finished on July 31, 2026. 

what: Project #1: Table for Two is an Ai-generated photo

how-to & vendor notes for #1:

1. pastel green cardstock sheet folded in half across the middle & divided in half; top side fold; 4.25" wide x 5.5" deep = Colorbok

2. the two tones of orange papers = scrap stash box; been in there for years; measured and cut for vertical strip; stencil-shape traced and fussy cut for the image backdrop

3. white thread (was ink tie-dyed) = Coats

4. green and orange washable markers = stash (for tie-dye on the thread)

5. lime green (Pea Green) alcohol marker = Arteza (for tie-dye on the thread)

6. gold puffy lettering stickers = Flags and Frills/American Crafts

7. image was Ai-generated by me sometime in 2025; to the right of the table runner there is a small pitcher with orange juice and an empty glass; there are 2 place settings and some silverware showing; I used Microsoft Designer. 

8. brown non-smudge retractable marker pen = Zebra Clickart (to outline the papers and image)

9. green crystal gems (part of a larger pack) = Crafter's Square
