10 Minute Craft Dash... Creating Cards in No Time at All!
WOW. I have scrapped in 10 minutes before, and I thought that was hard.
Making a card in 10 minutes that I actually wanted to use was even
harder. You really don't want to see the first one I did. It had banners
and fussy cutting, and marker. Not pretty. Created in under 10 minutes, but a total trainwreck. So... I went and looked at
the challenge examples again (at PrettyPinkPosh) and kept it simple.
To make
sure that I could stay within my 10 minutes, I first set out all of my
supplies. Keeping everything close to hand made it easy to create
without having to make too many decisions.
See all of that stuff? Nope.
Didn't use everything. I'm okay with that. Having it out gave me
options. I went with what felt natural instead of forcing something that
wasn't to be.
And
just in case you were wondering... Here is my time left out of the 10
minutes. Seriously... It didn't even take 5 minutes!!! I can only credit
that to a pre-folded card base, stamping directly onto the paper (a
risk since I'm NOT a stamper... I credit some great stamping advice a few friends
have given me lately), washi tape and embellishments that already have
adhesive on them. The faux stitching was the most difficult and time
consuming thing for the whole card.
Seriously FUN challenge. Really. I think I'm going to try it again. :)

LOVE your fabric flowers and faux stitching Heather - I'm always tempted to attempt the impossible with these challenges - what can I say, I'm a slow learner LOL!
