Winners for Challenge #319 - Fleeting Flowers

It could be argued that Spring Flowers really are fleeting! They do seem to come and go so quickly! They are so lovely, though, that I find myself wishing they could hang around a little longer! Those pastel colours are so appealing after the colourless winter days! 

The Design Team was very impressed with your speed stamping results! They make regular stamping look rushed! But here are the ones we felt deserved special notice:

Our Top Pick is: Deb Horst

Deb crushed this challenge by keeping her focal image small, but bright, with a lot of depth. Then her background consisted of a wide frame of textured white, which was very effective. And to embellish, she used Baker's twine in the same shade of yellow as her spring tulips. And what's more she created this in only six and a half minutes! How's that for awesome! Congratulations, Deb!

Our Featured Artist is: LeAnne Pugliese

LeAnne's beautiful Easter cards just goes to prove that lovely stamping can be done in a short amount of time! The hyacinths she created used different tones of pinks and purples to create depth in her focal point image. She echoes that effect with the greens in the leaves. Making it a square card added more interest and the beautiful font in purple was perfect for the occasion. The Design Team felt this design really stood out! Congratulations, Leanne, and especially for completing all this in under 6 minutes! Well done!

Challenge #319 - Fleeting Flowers

For this challenge we are doing a Speed Stamping Challenge and the theme for the challenge, created by the lovely Deborah, is Spring Flowers! To get your adrenaline pumping, create a card or other project, in under 10 minutes, that illustrates the seasonal theme of spring flowers! 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!

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!

Now we'll see what our Design Team did with the theme in under 10 min.:

Heather Cooper 8m 49s 

Heather Heroldt 6m 44s

Jan Clothier  7m 21s

Jane Knudsen 9m 53s

Joanne James 4m 05s

                                    Deborah Wheeler 9m 57s                                        

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 #319 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines.
• You can combine our challenge with up to 3 other compatible challenges.
• We do reserve the right to delete, or not consider, entries that do not comply with these guidelines.
