MFT Olympic Challenge #4 Speed Cardmaking

Challenge: Complete 1 card in 20 minutes or less

This simple card took every bit of the 20 minutes to put together and that was with all of my supplies gathered ahead of time but I like the finished card. I started with a plaid base, added a die cut piece of sno cone cardstock to the top, embossed the sentiment in white, and then added the die cut and embossed elephant. For the final touch I added a die cut heart and covered it with clear wink of stella for some sparkle.

Supplies

Cardstock - MFT (sno cone)

Patterned Paper - MFT (subtle plaids)

Stamp - MFT (beautiful baby)

Die - MFT (stitched scallop basic edge, beautiful baby elephant and heart)

Embossing Powder - Personal Stamp Exchange (white)

Wink of Stella clear

Atlantic Hearts #238

My supply of sympathy cards is quite depleted so I thought I would use this week's challenge sketch to create something simple and yet soothing using a yellow and white color scheme. This card began with an embossed layer by M'press with a round frame in the middle, I then added a stamped greeting by MSE and surrounded it with varied yellow flowers by Prima. I put Ranger liquid pearls in the center of each flower. I decided on an additional thin layer of black behind the white embossing to help ground the black lettering in the center. Hope you'll play along with us as the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/
