Winners for Challenge #236 - Brisk Butterflies

Only a few of you were up for a speed challenge last time, or the thought of brisk butterflies was too much of an oxymoron to work with! But we salute those of you who picked up the gauntlet and ran with it...er, fluttered fleetly! Here are our winners:

Our Top Pick is: Gayle Chrvala 7m5s

Gayle has used some really stunning background paper to create a beautifully clean seven minute card! We loved the confetti circle die that lets that gorgeous paper show through and we also loved that the butterfly is stamped on the same paper before cutting it out. The lovely expanse of white gives the clean, crisp look! 

Our Featured Artist is: Heather Heroldt 9m15s

It's all rainbows and butterflies for Heather's creation! The Design Team loved her choice of paper and the way the butterflies echoed the colours on the DSP! And when she threw in the decorated envelope in under 10 minutes, well, our collective mind was blown! Awesome job, Heather!

                                                      

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mention on her site:

Challenge #236 - Brisk Butterflies

While butterflies can leisurely flit from flower to flower in search of nectar, we don't want you to flit leisurely at all for this challenge! This is a SPEED STAMPING challenge! You need to complete your project in UNDER 10 MINUTES! You need to be a BRISK butterfly!

Our Design Team member, Joanne, chose a really good theme for speed stamping! I'm sure we all have butterfly stamps and/or butterfly and floral designer paper, and it won't be too hard to come up with something pretty in a short time frame! 

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! 

You have 10 minutes! Let us know, with your entry, how long it took you to complete your card or project! The key is to KISS!! Keep It Simple, Stamper!

Did this speed challenge give the Design Team butterflies? Let's see:

Amy Jasper 9m3s

Heather Cooper 9m59s 

Jan Clothier 9m20s

Jane Knudsen 9m20s

LeAnne Pugliese 4m45s

Joanne James 7m59s

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• You can come up with your design and gather materials before you start the clock, but once you start work, you have to complete your design in 10 min. State in your blog or description, how long it took you to make it.
• Use the given theme in your project.
• 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 #AYSI236 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
