I've been following the 10 minute craft dash on the pretty pink posh blog for awhile now and finally had 10 minutes to try one... he he he!
I needed some mothers day cards to send out... yep that's THIS weekend... so I thought it would be the perfect chance to try the dash!
Here's the challenge - you have to use the colors and make your card in under 10 minutes. I love the yummy colors - they reminded me of the beach and since my mom loves the beach, I reached for my By the Tide Stamp set.
I thought this might be hard to do so I combined it with a sketch challenge that looked pretty simple from retro sketches. I got out all my paper and stamps and then set the timer on my phone..
Here's my end time -- just a tad over 8 minutes! Yeah! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... kind of fun too. I think it definitely helped to have a sketch to start with... sometimes I take FOREVER to figure out the layout for my cards so the sketch made it easy!!
stamps: By the Tide (SU), retired SU sentiment
ink: calypso coral, crumb cake, pool party
paper: calypso coral, crumb cake, pool party, white
other: bakers twine
