SHOW the card: "Humble and Kind--little things"

Notes:

1. white card base A2 size; floral with border print panel die cut, wreath die-cut, the skinny small label die-cut "little things" = Simple Stories card kit

2. bandana print frame = free; printed as black and white on white cardstock; Clipart Library website; Lawn Fawn's turquoise blue ink pad dabbed to color coordinate

3. center white areas of bandana frame clipart and the wreath die-cut were cut out in order for the background floral panel to show

Loving this HQCB #28 REMINDER Graduation Gift Tag project

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!

What: loving this reminder post project for Heart's Quest #28

Why: I own and serve as a DT member for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog. Theme #28 is graduation with heart/love.

When: April 14-27, 2023; midway point is April 20th

Show the project: High School Graduation Gift Tag

Some design and vendor notes:

1. the rust, navy blue, and pheasant feather print cardstocks = Recollections/Michaels Arts and Crafts

2. the adventure begins tag, and the striped frame = Carta Bella's Outdoor Adventure frames and tags ephemera

3. the rust chipboard heart shape = Simple Stories

4. the gray chipboard heart and gray/black/white leafy stem = Paper Wishes website

5. alpha tile stickers = Freckled Fawn

6. cording and twine = stash

7. HQCB #28 elements: Will's school colors are blue and gold; his 2 favorite colors are orange and green. "The adventure begins" is a good high school graduation sentiment. For heart/love, I've got 2 chipboard hearts in the lower right corner.
