Shortcuts Home

Sue, my Country View Challenges teamie, has chosen "Under 30mns" as the theme for February and it is just as well as we are usually busy, this time of year...

So here is a quick card to make:


My time savings tactics rely on:

- using just one technique, here stamping, but with different inks to add more interest
- using as few stamps as possible and from the same sets or sets stored in the same folder/box
- use left overs: here I used the waste of some dies to create the frame around my buildings.

The stamp sets I used are from Paper Artsy ESN10, which is my go to texture stamp set, and Hot Pick 1601.
I added colour to the building with Cut & Dry foam and Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade and Wilted Violet.

Over to you... can you make something quick for our challenge? If you do you will be in with a chance to win a £20 voucher to spend on crafty things!

Thanks for coming by,

    Sacré challenge. Car le temps est souvent mon problème lol.
    Ta carte est superbe, bon choix de tampons, bref j'aime!
    Ce challenge m'aurait bien tenté mais ce mois ci je ne pourrais pas scraper dans l'immédiat. Ce sera pour une prochaine fois.
    Bonne journée,
    Bisous
