HQCB Color Heart Challenge Top 3 Pursuit Achievers for Pink White and Gold Can Not Be Given

      Heart's Quest had zero entries for the Color Challenge #2 that had requirements of pink, white and gold for the colors, to have a heart shape or word or the word love, and to be on a bookmark. 

Therefore I am going to make some slight changes to the Color competition and to the Love and What? competition. 

The 2 types of competitions alternate so in about 75 minutes Love Theme Challenge #3 will be released. From now on, I will refer to it as Love Theme Challenge. I had already made my 2 inspiration projects using hearts and the word heart instead of love, so I'm not going to change that requirement until Love Theme #4. In the future, your HQCB project for the Love Theme will have to show the word love and have at least 1 of the announced theme topic. (rules in the sidebar have already been updated this week)

Projects for HQCB can be any of these: cards/ATCs, bookmarks/tags, journals/TN spreads, and/or scrapbook layouts!!! You will get to select your format instead of me putting it as a recipe ingredient. 

Color Challenge will now be known as Color Heart Challenge and starting with #3 your project will need to show a heart in the specified color as well as have that color as the majority color on whatever format you select. 

When creating this competition blog and its name, my thoughts were focused on wanting to see paper-crafted (or hybrid) projects that had hearts or love on them. This challenge blog is also called Heart's Quest. Our crafting hearts need to be on a quest/search for love. I hope this allows for a more diverse range of craft artisans to partake in the competitions at HQCB! 

Go on a quest for Color Heart Challenge #3 that will be released at 12:30 am central time/Chicago on Thursday, April 14, 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!

HQCB Color Challenge #2 Trio of pink and white and gold with heart and or love bookmark

Search no more! Heart's Quest Color Challenge #2 is ready to inspire!

Hello! It's been just 1 month since our debut launch on February 28, 2022! And what gets my heart even more excited is that it's time for a 2nd color challenge. This time it will be a trio--pink AND white AND gold--in whatever proportions you want but all 3 must be present. Also at least 1 heart shape OR the word heart OR the word love must be present. You can do more than 1 but there has to be at least 1; after all this is called Heart's Quest. [I'm on a quest for love! :)] The format this time is bookmark. It can be any width you want but at least 5" long. I don't want it looking like a tag which was the format for the last color challenge. 

Inspiration project: You've Gotta Have Heart Bookmark= The pink is 2.5" wide and 8.5" long so the white (recycled packaging) is 3" wide and 9" long. The patterned papers on the gold are actually planner tabs (Webster Pages). The top sentiment stamp was purchased from Sum More Fun. The bottom was stenciled with part of a planner stencil kit (Pen + Gear). Metallic gold ink pad used on cardstock edges, stamping, and stenciling. Embellishments from my stash.

 

The gold cardstock layer has foam tape to lift it up.

Full view: 

Inspiration project #2: I Love You More Bookmark= pale pink with gold alphas (Freckled Fawn); the base cardstock pattern of gold and varying tones of pink dots (29th Market); everything else is old stash items. Dimensions of base cardstock are 4" wide x 7" tall. 

The recipe for Color #2 has 3 criteria to include:

1. color trio of white + pink + gold

2. at least 1 of these: a heart shape, the word 'heart', or the word 'love/luv'

3. format of a bookmark at least 5" long (width is your choice)

To participate, please use the Inlinkz address listed below. Color #2 Challenge competition will open at 12:30 am CST March 28, 2022 and will end at 12:30 am CST April 13, 2022.
