The Precious Remembrance team is joining Paulina for this week's 10 minute craft dash! I have to admit that this was my hardest one. I never work with lavender and Precious Remembrance is more sentiment than image oriented. Apparently, in a time crunch, I rely on cute smiley faces to make my card look more impressive than it really is ;)
The rest of the team will be showing off the new PR set, "little one." My international mailing saga has taken a turn: the package was apparently re-routed to somewhere in Chicago by the Canadian customs department. Don't ask. I have no idea.
Here's how I spent my 10 minutes:
minutes 1-2: immediately turned on my silhouette, selected a speech bubble shape from my library and set it to cut. In the meantime, I gathered my PR stamps: positive thoughts and mom & dad.
minutes 3-5: stamped the heart in yellow, the sentiment in purple, and the splotches in green. color combo success. I sponged around the edges.
minutes 6-7: created a folded card base, sponged around the card edges, and rummaged through my stamps for that little lawn fawn smiley. Apparently, I still needed a smiley face, and even the tiniest one would do.
minute 8: stamped it in the bottom left corner.
I ended with a time of 8 minutes and 4 seconds. No fuss, no muss. My quickest dash time ever!

Well that's no fun that you STILL don't have your Little One set :( But you made the best of it with your darling card!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the dash, Elena! I totally struggle with making cards that quickly.... you make it look effortless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever little card!!! Sure hope you get the set soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome!!! You underestimate yourself - this is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteSweet little card!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it Elena - just the right balance of cute & splatter!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining in the 10 Minute Craft Dash :)
Hope your stamp set finds you soon!!!
I *love* how the speech bubble is not a perfect oval/rectangle shape - this just feels so much more organic! I lol'd at your smiley face fixation - but the little guy clearly had a lot to say here! Great card, love the little splatter accents too - they add so much and stop that negative space from feeling overwhelming!
