Winners for Challenge #337 - Turbo Trees

You are all getting so adept at Speed Stamping challenges! You are learning all the hacks and shortcuts and using your strengths to come up with designs that do not look at all like you only took 10 minutes or less to make! But, the question is, do you still get that rush of adrenaline when you start your timer?

Here are the lovely winners this time, chosen by the Design Team:

Our Top Pick is: Alma Heijenk

Alma's pretty card, which only took her 3 minutes and 25 seconds, is a great testament to second generation stamping, which is a super technique for speed stamping. Alma created a little forest of trees with depth and dimension, using one stamp and one ink simply using this technique twice and adding an attractive sentiment! You don't have a die cutting machine, embossing machine, or something to heat emboss with? No worries! You can create wonderful things with stamps, ink and paper! Congratulation, Alma, on being our Top Pick this week!

Our Featured Artist is: Toni Maddox

Toni, our winner, and Featured Artist, took that same concept and added another stamp, some heat embossing and ink blending and at least another colour and created a real eye-popper! The Design Team loved the stag focal image and the softly shaded oval in the background. The tree image was perfect for the style of the deer as well. You can see how the darker colour of the stag drew your eyes to him. Congratulations on being our Featured Artist this week, Toni!

Challenge #337 - Turbo Trees

What do you call a fast evergreen? Why, a Turbo Tree, of course, and it turns out that it's the perfect title for our latest Speed Stamping Challenge, created by the queen of speed stamping, our team member, Jan! And since the holiday season is here, that makes it even more appropriate for this time. Check out the Challenge Banner for this one:

Now those of you who are familiar with our Speed Challenges know that basically you have to create a card to fit the theme in under 10 minutes. But you can plan your card first and get out all your materials first. However, the moment you cut paper, or add ink to a stamp, or begin to use a tool, you must start the timer! 

In your post, make sure you tell us how long it took you to create your card.

Let's see how long it took our Design Team to make their projects:

• Use every element in the recipe, but the possibilities within those parameters are endless.
• Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use AYSI#337 when uploading to a public gallery.
