10 Minute Craft Dash #20



I thought I'd take a few minutes this weekend and play along with the 10 Minute Craft Dash #20, which was to use the above colour combo on a card. 

When I saw it, it immediately made me think of the MME The Sweetest Thing Honey line from last summer. I found a scrap of this paper in my stash and started making my card....

.... and let me tell you, I thought for sure I'd be done before 6 minute! I thought, oh yeah, this is going to be my fastest card ever!

But then, the label I'd stamped out didn't fit the way I wanted it to and I ended up recutting my background patterned paper and restamping on a Happy Day die cut... and here's what I ended up with...



And my time....




Not quite the 6 minutes I thought it would be.... but hey, at least I finished it before 10 minutes!

Thanks for looking!

I hate it when things don't work out for craft dash! It's nerve wrecking and frustrating! But what a score! Love the way this card worked out! :)

Well I think it is still amazing Leigh. I get myself in a bit of a tizzy with the dash!

I think it's great and the fact is you got it done under 10, what's an extra four minutes as long as you're under 10? Loving those brads!

Hey, but it turned out really awesome, so it's alright that it took you longer! I like the cluster of brads, what a great look!! Great to see you playing along again! :)

Sometimes that kind of things happen when the timer is still running and you want the timer go slowly lol. By the way your card turned out super cute.

It's fabulous...
and I still can't bring myself to try this one...
I think I'll spend the 10 minutes passed out from just the nerves! :)

This is so awesome, Leigh! I can't believe you created such a great card in 10 minutes...
It takes me at least that long to clear a spot on my craft desk before I even begin making a card :-)

Oh my goodness, that floral brad is so beautiful- I cannot believe you were able to part with it for a card! I think I would have stashed it away forever! :)

This card is so lovely- you're becoming a Craft Dash pro in no time! Thank you for playing along Leigh!
