Challenge #277 - Fast But Slow
For this challenge we are doing a Speed Stamping Challenge and the theme for the challenge created by Design Team member Joanne is Belated Birthday! So you are making this project FAST but it's slow because it's too late for someone's birthday.. fast but slow! So to get your adrenaline pumping in the most enjoyable way, create a card or other stamped project in under 10 minutes that illustrates the theme of a belated birthday greeting! Please let us know how long it took you to make it in your description.
When we do a speed challenge we are not expecting a detailed masterpiece from you. We want you to have fun and see what you can create in under 10 minutes! You can design it in your head or sketch it out first. You can gather all your supplies ahead of time. But once you start the cutting/stamping/die cutting/embossing /etc. process, you must start the timer!

Winners for Challenge #275 - Recipe for Subtle Beauty
Thanks to all the test cooks who tried out our Recipe Challenge last week! You combined something that started with B and the beauty of subtle colours, embossed texture and die cuts and it made for some very lovely creations! We had everything form butterflies to ballerinas! We had quite a few of you to choose from for our winners! Where you have the challenge of creating, we have the challenge of choosing from among such talent! Here are the winners of our Recipe Challenge:
Our Top Pick is: Deborah Wheeler
Deborah's card reminded us of an impressionist painting with the awesome background paper, the lovely texture at the bottom and the die cut tulip heads. She combined every element of the recipe challenge so creatively and integrated them into the whole project seamlessly! Great job, Deborah!
And we have a tie for Featured Artist this week:
Our first Featured Artist is: Cindy Major
Cindy's beautifully coloured ballerina is presented along with some creative recipe elements! The Design Team loved the floral paper with the gingham border, the quietly embossed background design and the torn, crinkled collage paper between them. The surprising shiny thing was the embossed sentiment, which was brilliant! Again a creative use of the elements and a beautiful composition!
Our second Featured Artist is: Johanna @LHC
Joanna's sumptuous card is full of rich images that embrace all the elements of the challenge! The lovely blossoms and the blue focal point butterfly are the B items and the die cuts. The embossed background is coloured with a subtle colour as are the blossoms and leaves and the jewels in the centers of the blossoms and along the back of the butterfly provide something shiny! This project is the embodiment of our challenge title: Recipe for Subtle Beauty!
