HQCB Reminder Color Heart #10 Theme ends 13 December 2022

 Heartfelt Greetings!

The midway reminder point has come for Color Heart #10 Theme competition! 

It was launched on November 28 and ends on December 13, 2022 at 12:30am CT/standard/Chicago or 6:30am UK. Adjust to wherever you are in the world. 

Color Heart #10 requires 2 elements:

*at least 1 green heart

AND

*at least 1 white heart

For design inspiration, my thoughts have been sparked by another challenge blog that has had a recent green and pink Christmas theme and then making it a thinking of you/care card for a 3rd cousin diagnosed with color cancer recently. She's four years younger than me!  My heart just broke over that. She's on my mom's father's side. On my dad's mother's side, in the extended family we lost 2 guys to colon cancer at 46 and 50 years old this year. This has just been heart-wrenching.

To cheer up my cousin:

Mixed Media Contemporary vibe

 Some design notes:

a. top fold notecard white base = The Paper Studio

b. art focal is on white satin sheen specialty paper (also most of the hearts) with green and pink acrylic paints; cotton balls were used to apply the green paint in circular motions and it was cross-hatched using a twin-line dental floss pick! Yes! I dragged the floss through! Dabs of pink acrylic paint were applied around the edges with the dental floss being dragged through each of those. Then a center pink paint heart was added. 

c. the green glitter foam heart was made from an ornament foam sticker shape! = The Paper Studio

AND

a bonus Christmas tag with green and white buffalo plaid cardstock base, a painted stenciled green hearts on white scrap paper, a white heart traced and cut from white cardstock and a few embellishments=

Muted olive greens and white hearts accent Willa Jean's layout to fulfill the Color Heart #10 required duo. I haven't traveled out to Virginia to find all the thousands of 'love' art installations/sculptures, but I've been enjoying seeing scrappers like Willa Jean document them! Her layout sketch makes use of lots of scraps to add patterns and colors yet still letting the photo be the featured element. Terrific! --Becca

Lori's cards are always adorable and this one is ready for a festive Christmas! She's added some red to the deep dark pine green, mossy green, brown and white hues of her card. The trio of hearts makes perfect little accents next to the cozy outfitted squirrels and fulfill the Color Heart #10 duo requirement. Too precious! --Becca

I decided to go with a very feminine and religious Christmas card with lots of mint green hearts and 1 white satin sheen heart (plus a plaid heart). Look closely at the plastic overlay that is printed with lots of mint green hearts that is backed with lime green cardstock and a 2nd backing of pink cardstock. I added a felt heart in mint green and a plastic cling mint green heart over the 1 white satin sheen heart. Just had to use this panel from the overlay sheet that I've had for about 4 years!!!--Becca
