HQCB Reminder Post Color Challenge #2 ending 13 April 2022

Color #2 Challenge Reminder

Competition started March 28, 2022 at 12:30 am Central Time/Chicago and will end on April 13, 2022 at 12:30 am Central Time/Chicago (6:30 am UK).

 My heart and soul are so happy creatively with this venture of mine into paper-crafting challenge blogs! I can't believe that's it's about halfway through the 13 days of competition for the 2nd color-based challenge at Heart's Quest Challenge Blog! 

Here are the important details of the recipe to follow: (1) color trio to use is pink, white, and gold; nothing else...try really really hard, please!; (2) because this is called Heart's Quest, I need to see a heart shape or word or the word 'love'; and (3) the paper-crafting format is bookmark. 

I made a "HB" themed bookmark that will either go to a niece or her mother, my sister-in-law, who have birthdays 4 days apart. The floral paper is from The Paper Studio. The acrylic overlay is from Webster Pages, I think. It has diagonal white lines and the word 'today'. The little cut-apart square is Webster Pages or My Mind's Eye. The white with pink tonal watercolor tag is from American Crafts. Other items are from different stash boxes. Look closely at the ribbon, too. It started as white sheer. I added pink marker on top to give it a tie-dyed, watercolor look and then I added some gold metallic paint pen dots and streaks. (The base for the bookmark looks like a light salmon pink that the scanner bleached out. It's more like cotton candy pink in person.)

TODAY--Write your own story bookmark:

LOOK at what's under the tag! With the tag and overlay just being held by the gold arrow paperclip, I thought if these get moved around a bit, it would be darling to see more of the gorgeous floral paper and the heart cut-out. SURPRISE!

Did you see the two alpha stickers in gold? "HB" are near the bottom with a gold gem on each side. Lots of little details for eyes to find!

What's in your stash? I had to do some sifting and sorting for this bookmark but within an hour or so it was complete. The 'home shopping spree' took at least 15 minutes or more. It helped that the overlay was already cut out from the larger 12" square that it was a part of and the same for the little cut card. The tag just had to have the little cut card adhered to it and then the pink glitter foam heart added to the overlay. Cutting out the center heart of the doily didn't take too long. I just needed to go slow and steady. Measuring the cardstock for the base and background floral paper took about 5 minutes. Coloring the ribbon was done about halfway through the process to give it drying time. Final touches and voila!
