3 – 2 – 1 GO!!! I haven’t played in the As You See It Challenge in quite sometime but after our Buddy Johanna posted her card it inspired me to play along. This is one of my favorite challenges with this group…..SPEED challenge to make a card in 10 minutes of less.
For my card, I used two stamps from Gina K Designs’s All Occasion Flowers stamp set from the Pocketful of Sunshine card kit inking the stamps in first Sea Glass, the second stamp in Blue Lagoon and repeating the first stamp in Tranquil Teal. Stamped the sentiment in black onyx ink. Then to the Big Shot to die cut my whispy greenery, and the focal panel using AI’s Rectangle A2 Double Stitched die, layered on black cardstock and trimmed it down, then added it to a white card base. Final touch was Taylored Expressions Matte Enamel Dots.
Time: 9 minutes 5 seconds. I will admit that I made this design earlier this week for sympathy cards and liked the way it turned out. The sentiment also has a die but I didn’t think I would have time to stamp and die cut.
My card will be shared with this Fun Challenge:
As You See It Challenge: Challenge #325 – Timed Thank You
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, be safe and stay cool. Temps are hitting mid 90’s next week so hopefully I can spend more time in my “elf room”.
Stamp Buddies 
Lovely! Looks great. We have hit the mid to late 90’s so I am inside.
Thanks Lisa. Stay cool.
Great design! Love the colors!
Thank you.
Amazing you got all that design and texture in under 10 minutes.
Thanks Bonnie
Love this, Gayle – such pretty blues, and great time! Great technique for a speedy card, and so dramatic with that pretty diecut, too. Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
Thanks for a fun challenge and stopping by.
Pretty card. Well done in less than 10 minutes.
Thanks, Gerry.
Gayle, I love the colours you used for this design, and that wispy greenery is so pretty over it! You did a wonderful job in the allotted time! Thanks for daring to speed stamp with us at As You See It!
This is definitely one of my favorite challenges. Thanks for commenting.
You did really well Gayle. Its a great card and having had the earlier practice probably helped a lot.
Well, maybe it did help having made this design before but that darned die did not want to release for me. LOL..
It s a real bummer when that happens.
Beautiful card!
Gayle your white diecut looks beautiful against your trios of blues – such a tranquil design. No crime to have a dry run on a speed challenge – it’s a great way to work out where to save a vital few seconds/minutes. A fab speedy card! Thanks for playing with us at As You See It this week!
Thanks, Joanne, it was fun to play along.
It’s lovely to have you join us again at As You See It, Gayle! I’m also glad you fall into the ‘love it’ camp for speed challenges. I like that it gives you permission to be a little less considered in your approach and I’m constantly amazed at the beautiful things people create in such a short time. This one is a perfect example. Good choices of colour and style… and if you’ve found a layout that works, why not use it again. And again!
Thanks so much for another fun challenge and stopping in to support my card.
What a fun card Gayle.
