It’s Friday and Welcome! It’s time to play with the Stampaholics!
Today we are working with a card sketch and have to get it done in 10 minutes! Can this be done? We’ll see…….
I started with a card base of Early Espresso(I love the richness of it) and added Crumb Cake(Yummy) and Very Vanilla. I made my own background paper by using the small stem image from Just Believe(120453) and “stampin off” with Crumb Cake classic ink and then sponged the edges with the same ink. The main image was stamped with Early Espresso classic ink and matted on Early Espresso. I stamped the small Very Vanilla circle using the “stamping off” method again and then stamped “friends” over top. Yes, I stamped this all first and then used the 1-1/4″ punch to make a perfect circle. Then I wrapped it all up with a length of 1-1/4″ Early Espresso Striped Grosgrain ribbon and a lovely bow with help from Lee Conrey’s Magic Bow maker.
And there we have it!
Did I do this in 10 minutes? Heck no! It took 14 min. 11 sec. but I’m happy with this one (the other 2 hit the recycle bin – LOL).
Isn’t Mr. Timer cute? He just sits there and quietly counts away – no nagging or pesky buzzers!
