Hooray it is another week of the
Stamp-A-Holics Challenge!! This week we were given an awesome sketch by design team member
Cynthia! I love her clever sketch, it is open ended and so fun to play with! Remember to play along we have three rules...
A card must be completed in 10 minutes
A scrapbook page in 20 minutes
A 3D item in 30 minutes
As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew that I had to use my new "Punched Posies" set from the Mini Summer Catalogue, it is the Hostess Level 2 set! I also found a new challenge blog called
"Sketch'n'Colour" and was intrigued by their great colour challenge this week! So I decided to make a card!
Mr. Snappy, our phone and my watch dog for time, is all set at 7:05pm! Mr. Snappy had to be convinced to play this week as I beat him last week...needless to say, it was difficult to get him to play!
I wanted to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) card! I cut all of my paper and had my inks ready to go, that took about 2 minutes! Or so I thought! My paper dimensions are: Pale Plum (A2 Size), Elegant Eggplant (3.75" x 5") and White (3.5" x 4.75"). Really simple!
And here is the finished product! It took me a few stamping tries to get the flowers and the sentiment right where I wanted them!
But I am happy with the result...it was so out of my comfort zone to stamp the sentiment "askew" like this and directly onto the card front!
And here is Mr. Snappy looking SMUG! I took 29 minutes to make this card! In my defense, I did have a quick phone call!!! LOL!
