Hello. I was intrigued by the challenge at As You See It – this time, they wanted the theme of apples, and it was also a timed challenge – had to be created within 10 minutes…
I did a search through the Color My Life app, and found this stamp and die set from Clearly Besotted – an old one from 2017, but I thought it would fit the bill.
I’m not particularly proud of the colouring on this – but I was conscious of the time so went with it.
I got all my supplies together, started the timer – off we go.
The first thing was to stamp the image, quickly heat set, then I used my Zigs to colour them in – very basic colouring. I chose Zigs as I thought they would spread the colour around quite quickly.
Once coloured, I used the matching dies, grabbed a card base, stamped the sentiment directly onto the card base, then attached the die cut image with glue. I had a few seconds left over, so I took a white gel pen and made some ‘shine’ on the apples. This didn’t turn out as white as I’d hoped, as the colouring was still a little damp, but you can certainly see the marks.
As you can see – very close to the wire – but success none-the-less.

This apple image is perfect for speed stamping! They look good enough to eat! Thanks for sharing this with our Speed Stamping challenge this week at As You See It!

Speed stamping makes us do things we wouldn’t ordinarily do… like stamping the sentiment right on the front panel, or speed colouring an image, but you bravely took on the challenge and created a lovely card for your daring! Well done!

Bravo for taking on the speed challenge – it’s quite daunting once the timer starts, you just can’t stop thinking about it! Even braver for taking on colouring while the clock was running. Love your layout and clean design – it was a perfect stamp choice. Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It. :-)

A speed challenge doesn’t allow for great colouring or even straight lines if they are part of your design. They do, however, get your heart racing and force creativity while the clock is ticking. You did good here.
