Heart's Quest Challenge Blog's

LOVE theme #6 required duo elements are:

*use the word 'love' or a form/language equivalent

AND

*use at least 1 image of Cupid or an angel

**********************

for design inspiration

#1 from HQCB owner, Becca S

I've used the same Cupid stamp as seen below and also on a bonus/extra post. (Sum More Fun purchase) The "gotcha" stamp is also part of a Sum More Fun set. Red, taupe, and the chevron/arrow point print scraps are from my stash. Black cardstock base dimensions are 4.25" x 5.5". The black 'diamond' decorative tape and 3 clear crystal gems along with either red or black inking to the cardstock edges are the finishing touches. 

Oh! And I hand lettered the "my love" phrase under "gotcha" to get that theme element requirement onto the card. 

and 

#2 from HQCB owner, Becca S

an early birthday card for my hubby

I seriously raided the scraps to put this together. Hand-lettering for 'to', 'my', and 'love'. "HB" is an old 2001 Stampin' Up wood stamp. 

Now it's your turn to hurry your quest for all things Cupid or Angel! It will be fun to see how Cupid can be used all year long. I thought of an idea to see Cupid, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus all together...wouldn't that be fun?!!!?! You can also create angel-themed cards. Those could be for religious sympathy, or Christmas, or church choir/music, and lots of other occasions/topics. 

You can also have more than 1. 

The DT duo of Lori S and Dottie S used angels for their projects seen on the main theme posting from August 14. Make sure to use the link provided below to take you back in order to see their work and use the Inlinkz tool address to link-up your project(s)!!!!

The deadline is about 6 days away so make sure to get your projects created and blogged  soon!

This is the link to take you back to the original posting back on August 14th=

HQCB REMINDER Color Heart #6 Photo Inspired Multicolor Hearts in Grid Format

 Wow! Welcome to Heart's Quest REMINDER midway post for Color Heart Theme #6!!

Competition started July 28 and ends August 13, 2022. 

GD Lori Barrett-Stroup and I shared inspiration projects on the main post and we're returning for this reminder posting. Take a look. 

Sweet. Cute. Giving lots of love vibes!

https://loriannie670.blogspot.com/2022/08/hugs-kisses-hearts-quest-challenge-blog.html

Check out Lori's personal blog posting about products and techniques used.

Excellent craftsmanship, Lori! 

The theme is based on this photo (credit details on the main post):

I would like to see 2 or more colors/prints of hearts in a grid format of some kind. The heart colors don't have to be reds or pinks unless that's what you want to use. 

and a different approach=

HQCB owner Becca's project #1 with reddish-pink tonal hearts and dark brown hearts set up in rows and columns on this card=

About 2.5 hours to make this card and I think it was well worth it! I lined up two very old alphabet stencils side by side for the 8.5" wide gray cardstock. I traced each letter/number and then selected 10 colored pencils to rotate on the left side first and then continued to the top of the right section but in a reverse order. The tonal burgundy print hearts are from an old scrap paper and the brown hearts are from a textural specialty paper. Add on the base, the glitter tape, and the hexagon "love" by Remarks/American Crafts.

HQCB Color Heart #6 Photo Challenge 2 or more colors of hearts in a grid starts 28 July 2022

 Heartfelt Greetings!

Heart's Quest Challenge Blog Color Heart #6 Theme competition is July 28-August 13, 2022. The start time and end time on these 2 dates will be 12:30am CT/Chicago or 6:30am UK. 

I've decided to mix things up a bit and will provide this craft photo by Dinah Wulf shared at DIY Inspired for you to interpret in your own way. I'd like to see some kind of hearts (simple or complex) in a grid format using 2 or more colors. Are you intrigued? You don't have to use red or pink however I want to see 2 or more hues/tones/shades in a grid format. 

How will you interpret this theme?

To inspire you, Guest Designer Lori Barrett-Stroup and I have projects to share and each is unique. I did a card and GD Lori has a TN layout.

Lori is a super talented and very busy scrapbooker and cardmaker. HQCB is honored to have her sharing her Color Heart #6 interpretation as the Guest Designer. 

Isn't that a cute photo!?!!! And the pattern mix is a wonderful blend of colors and prints! Did you catch that her grid hearts are stitched in place!!! How cool! And the left side even has more hearts! Perfect for Heart's Quest, don't you think?!!! Absolutely fabulous!

a few design notes with vendors: plaid cardstock panel is from Pink Paislee's Together for Christmas paper pad; white scalloped flat card base with matching envelope are from The Paper Studio; the gold metallic foil dazzle "congratulations!" is from Paper Wishes website; that is outlined by a fine tip black pen; plaid is edged in black ink while the card base is in red ink. Red and amber heart gems have been in my stash for a long time. 

Using the plaid cardstock plus glue-backed heart gems made crafting a grid format super easy!
