Hello once again. This card was created as I was totally intrigued by the current challenge at ‘As You See It’. The challenge theme is ‘Spring Flowers – in under 10 minutes’……
So – this was my second attempt at creating a card in under 10 minutes. The first card I was still using the stencil and not even got around to the die cutting part at the end of 10 minutes.
I had a rethink, and decided to go with some Washi tape from Pinkfresh Studio – that would take care of some stamping, colouring and die cutting all in one go – but little did I know that trying to get that Washi down smoothly would take more time than I anticipated.
However, it worked…..Here is my timer:
Just in the nick of time.
A plain white card base, a circle frame I die cut – within that 10 minutes – the Washi die cut pieces attached with glue and some 3D foam squares……the sentiment was also stamped and die cut (2 layers), then glued down…..I can see I’m also typing quickly – I still think I’m on a timer….!
I was going to add some bling – but time was running out and I hadn’t prepared for that….
So -an interesting challenge, which made me realise just how much time it takes to create a card generally – definitely far longer than 10 minutes……

What a lovely card! You made me smile with your explanation of how you did it. There’s something about a timer that really puts the pressure on. What I really like about this challenge is that it forces me to be inventive with the supplies I have to sort out where the time-saving hacks are. Glad you joined us in our speed challenge at As You See It. :-0

Thank you – and it’s amazing how much you fumble things too – especially when there’s a timer…..xx

I really chuckled at your explanation, especially when you mentioned you were also typing fast. That happened to me too. It is a beautiful end result so worth the heart racing experience in my opinion. The Washi tape is pretty.
