Heart's Quest #47 Best Arrows bragging rights announcement on 13 February 2024

Heart's Quest Theme #47

Make your combo pair with heart/love was the theme for #47 ending on February 13, 2024.

With my heart overflowing in gratitude there were 5 on target #47 projects and 3 artisans get the Best Arrows badge to share!!!

Part A elements for #47 were perfect for Valentine/wedding/engagement/anniversary kinds of cards (Cupid, arrows, kissing lips). 

Part B heart/love options were also suited for the same (heart-shaped doily, 'you've captured my heart', or 'my loving darling'), 

Project interpretations did vary and it was fun to see what our participants put together!

The Best 3 Arrows for #47 are: Jackie C, Deanne, and Jolanda J!!!

Congratulations!!! 

In order of entry:

#1 was made by Jolanda J=

The lovely vellum die-cut floral doily is unique and yet Jolanda pierced it with the arrow! 

Must be true love!

and

#3 was made by Deanne=

On Deanne's project I loved how the lace almost matches the doily for a subtle effect contrasted with the darkness of the Cupid silhouette!

and

#5 was made by Jackie C=

The birds kissing lips/beaks brought a smile to my face!

And the whole image looks like a heart-shaped doily! Very special!

Thanks ladies for outstanding combinations using the #46 badge! 

We appreciate the other participants for their time and talent shared with Heart's Quest.

<3 --- <3 --- <3

Theme #48 will be launched very soon. 12:00am CT/Chicago on February 14, 2024.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

You have to use at least 1 option from each side in order to not have your entry deleted.

This is not a make your own Valentine WITHOUT using the #47 badge. 

You can use all 6 elements on your project if you want but the minimum is 1 from each side.

We added additional supporting elements to our cards:

Willa's used extra hearts plus her focal image on the left has another great expression 'love struck' that's a good bonus and suits the Cupid image perfectly. 

I've used the wood laser cut 'kiss me' to reinforce the kissing lips and have the XOXOXO added to my sentiment strip to symbolize 'hugs and kisses'. I also added the 'love' text square card under 'kiss me' to make it very obvious that romantic love is being visually expressed on this card. This went to my hubby already because we just had our anniversary before this challenge started. #28!! Woo-hoo!!! 

Come and join us before February 13, 2024.
