I've talked about it before but I am always challenging myself to reduce the time I spend on a card. Sure I love technique and I'm just as happy as the next person to spend hours creating something that I just love! But sometimes it's just fun to whip something out without spending a ton of time. I saw a card on the Hero Arts blog this morning where Joy Taylor made a confetti inspired card that I just thought was the coolest...gotta be able to do it in less than three minutes....kind of card!
You can see hers
HERE. Cute, fun and simple, huh?
So I thought...I can do this very quickly and create a couple of cards for my participation in the Operation Write Home project. Cards for submission there need to have little dimension, no glitter, etc. I thought this would be perfect.
Here are my versions:
One was done with Basic Grey papers....the other with My Mind's Eye.
I used random circle punches and just adhered them to the cardstock...some were mounted on foam tape or dimensionals. I used a Hero Arts sentiment, as well....stamped directly to the card base.
Easy peasy...2 cards...less than 10 minutes FLAT!
I entered this in the following challenges:
Hero Arts Blog challenge: Clean and Simple
Clearly iStamp: Clearly Inspired Challenge #58: Circles
Happy Crafting!
oh so true! doesn't matter how long I spent to make a card everyone loves them no matter what. Love the contrast of the blue and yellow against the white. really pretty
