His and Hers Day Three/10 Minute Craft Dash - with sympathy

I tried my hand at another sympathy card using the 10 minute craft dash colour combo - this is a beautiful group of shades together ... and the third day of the His and Hers challenge was all about sympathy cards.  It's always good to have a few on hand as you are never in the right frame of mind when you actually need one of these cards.  They are also great to add to card sets as they are (unfortunately) necessary at one time or another.

This card came together pretty quickly - I used Birch, Sicilian Blue and Sugar inks for the ikat stamping and overlaid the sentiment from PTI's Think Big set in Chocolate.

I popped up the white panel on foam dots and attached it to a kraft card base.  Easy peasy and done in only 4 minutes and 24 seconds.  Whoo hoo! :-)

Supplies:
Paper: PTI Kraft, Staples 110lb white
Stamps: PTI Irresistible Ikat, Think Big
Inks: Fresh Sicilian Blue, Sugar, Birch, Chocolate
Misc: foam dots

His and Hers Day Three/10 Minute Craft Dash#17 - here for you

Day three of the online class His and Hers covered sympathy cards.  I decided to combine this with a new to me challenge, the 10 minute craft dash.  I managed to make the card in under ten minutes!

I think I was more concerned about keeping track of the time and continuing to refresh my phone's screen to check the time! :)  I got my card stock, inks and stamps all ready to go before beginning which is allowed, according to the rules. 

I stamped the flowers from Natural Beauties in Sicilian Blue ink and then overlaid the line image in Birch.  I added the inner embellished dots in Sugar and Fuchsia before gluing down some irridescent sequins.  I think it took longer for me to cut the sequins and adhere them than the stamping!

I added the sentiment onto a piece of spring rain card stock using a Think Big sentiment in Birch and added it on foam dots.  I got this card made in just under the allowed time - 9:42!  Have you ever tried to time yourself to make a card in under ten minutes?  It's a great way to challenge yourself so I encourage you to try it out ...

Supplies:
Paper: Staples 110 lb white, PTI spring rain
Ink: Fresh Sicilian Blue, Birch, Sugar, Fuchsia
