10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge #24

Hello all – here to share the latest 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge as hosted by the gorgeous Paulina over at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.  The colours this time round are not ones I would naturally gravitate towards but once I had gathered my chosen inks and stamps the card came together pretty quickly.

I pulled out some fabby Clearly Besotted stamps and Hero Arts shadow inks and went to work – and came up with this…..  The rose colour is a little more peachy than I had intended but I did’t have time to start again!!

There is a great prize on offer too from Gossamer Blue – how yummy does this look?

Thanks for stopping by.

I scream, you scream ……

And we all know how that ends!!!  I decided I’d have another go at THIS card (the one I made for the current 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge – still time to play if you pop along to Paulina’s blog, Pretty Pink Posh) but this time in pink.  I chose to use a cream card base rather than white as I did with the mint version and I think I actually prefer this one.  What do you think?  I wasn’t under any time pressure of course this time round, lol!  If you haven’t checked it out already then you need to mosey on over to Clearly Besotted – the August release (featuring the fabby stamp set above) is amazing!
