We seem to have more brave hearts taking on our speed challenges! I know crafters have a hard time breaking themselves from the tyranny of perfectionism! It can be very freeing to let go of the requirement of being perfect for a challenge like this and just do enough to finish the job adequately in 10 min! Using your scrap pile is NOT cheating! Colouring only part of an image is a great technique to use for a speed challenge and for other times as well! Punches vs dies are great for speed challenges! It's a good thing to try! Okay, next time, right?
Now on to our winners for this challenge!
Our Top Pick is: Jennie Maier
Jennie used some beautiful designer paper to form her background for this speed stamping challenge - which is a great technique for a challenge of this kind! The crisp look of the green palette really sets it apart and the small touch of purple just adds a beautiful accent. She added a stamped accent and sentiment, also in the green and another patterned paper accent to finish it off! Look what a beautiful project you can create in under 10 minutes!!
Our Featured Artist is: Erin T.
Erin used an amazing combination of stamped background and die cut foreground to create this homage to the outdoors in just over 9 minutes! That stamped background is a big WOW in shades of lemon and lime, while the foreground in darker shades really "balances" the whole design! Congratulations on an excellent accelerated al fresco win, Erin!
