Speedy Christmas cards.

There is a new challenge blog called the Speed Craft Challenge where they are challenging us to make something in 15 minutes. I am not a fast crafter but  decided to give it a try.
You are allowed to have everything ready to go in my case it was a blank card, some Brusho powder a water spray and a  Stampers Anonymous set  and a sentiment stamp.


What I didn't account for was the time it took for the background to dry, so coming up to 10 minutes in, I resorted to getting out the heat tool to dry it.
Out with the Black Staz -on, placed the stamps and finished this in just under the allotted time.
Thanks for the challenge girls I enjoyed it. 

It also got me going with making some fast , fun, easy to post Christmas cards.




These cards  were left to dry out naturally, the images stamped on the base and again on spare card, they were fussy cut and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens .

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at what I made the comments you leave me are always appreciated.

  2. Your card is beautiful and thanks so much for joining us at The Speed Challenge. I love the colors and have never heard of Brusho powder. I really like the look it created for you and now I want to try it out myself. And of course the image is so pretty. We are so delighted you decided to join in our speed challenge and so happy you enjoyed the process and even went on to make some more Christmas cards.
