Now, in keeping with my last speed stamping post, I need to explain where the expression "full tilt" comes from! And, believe it or not, it comes from the medieval sport of jousting, also known as tilting. Two knights rode their horses toward one another, each holding a lance aimed at the other, trying to knock the other off his horse. To inflict the maximum damage, they would attempt to ride toward each other at maximum speed ie at full tilt! And now you know!
And you each created your spring bulb cards at full tilt, but you wouldn't know it! They are just lovely! Congratulations to all! Here are your winners:
Can you believe that this is Loopyloo's Speed Stamping entry?? Look at all those little bitty die cut pieces that had to be put together again with glue to make that beautiful tulip!
Not one's usual choice for a speed stamping challenge! Look at the embossed background! Another step added! And finally - Loopyloo didn't just die cut the sentiment, she also added a shadow for it! What a stunning result! Perfect for Top Pick! Congratulations, Loopyloo!
Christy Stanford, our winner, and Featured Artist, used a tried and true method of speed stamping, DSP! But she used it in such a powerful way that many of the Design Team chose her card as their favourite! Not only did she choose some stunning patterned paper (DSP), she displayed it in an eye-catching way, with well-chosen colours matting the layers of DSP. She made use of dies to create stitching around the edges of the layers and the sentiment tag! Congratulations on earning Featured Artist, Christy!
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:
