Epic FAIL! 10-Minute Craft Dash & Heart2Heart

I haven't been playing with many challenges lately, and thought I would fix that. Paper Smooches is sponsoring the dare at a new-to-me blog, 10-Minute Craft Dash. I had just received some new PS stamps and dies in the mail this week; the stars seemed aligned...

The deal is, the colors posted above must be used (I chose CTMH versions,  Lagoon, Chocolate and Smoothie), you can pull out your supplies before you start, but you MUST finish your project within 10 minutes. I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted to use Paper Smooches' Warm Hearts, so I got to work. Had a little trouble with the sentiment, which I wanted to do in two colours, covering over alternate parts of the stamp with Scotch tape... I glanced at my cell-phone (which I was using as a stop-watch) and just laughed. I was already at 20 minutes! So I finished the card and it took this long:

But its so cute!

So I am going to link it up to the Heart 2 Heart challenge blog this week, which features Clean and Simple cards. There is a fair bit of white space on this one, and limited color palette, so hopefully that counts. Also to the Keep It SImple challenge blog, whose focus this week is paper-piecing.

Hope your weekend includes some crafty time...
