Welcome to the latest challenge at As You See It. The final challenge type in our 6 challenge rotation is the Speed Stamping Challenge. You'll either love or hate it but I love it because it forces me to be creative under pressure.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create a new project in ten minutes or less on the theme of Spring Flowers.
Don't panic at the thought of a ten minute make. Here's the rules:
- Thinking time doesn't count
- Gathering your supplies doesn't count - eg putting out your inks and dies, blocking the stamps, putting the card on the desk.
- Clean up time doesn't count either - thankfully!
BUT
- The moment you cut, ink, emboss - then the time has to start.
In a challenge like this, pretty DSP can really be your friend by doing all the heavy lifting. I've used the
Flowering Zinnias DSP from the Online Exclusives.
This card took me 7 minutes 21 seconds to complete - including an equipment malfunction. You can watch every adrenalin laden moment of that in the video below!
Make sure you visit the As You See It page to see what the rest of the Design Team have done in their ten minutes - and to link up your own entry.

Fab card Jan - I love that paper!
ReplyDeleteI raise a glass to you! That was a very gutsy move, filming a speed challenge! I'm already under undue stress just doing the challenge, and many things go wrong that don't normally ever happen, because of it! I shudder to think what would happen if I was also taping myself! It doesn't bear thinking about! Very pretty card, and a perfect technique for a speed stamping challenge!
ReplyDeleteDSP for the win Jan - this is gorgeous! I love the stamping on the sentiment label - I would have overlooked this small but neat detail. As for the video - hats off, you are so good at this! You inspired me in more ways than one this week!
