I was kind of glad that this week's challenge was a Speed Challenge, because I'm having a week where time is at a premium! I'm doing a One Day Crop Fund Raiser on Saturday and I have so much to do to prepare for that, but it's also challenge week and my condo is having a Town Hall meeting to prepare for our AGM. Because I'm the Strata Council President, I had a lot to do to prepare for that as well. And there were more little details! Sometimes the perfect storm of circumstances creates the week from you know where! However, a Speed Challenge was welcome and here is the theme:
I looked over my watery stamps and decided to use one I hadn't tried yet and that's the Framed Scenes bundle. Two of the images have water features. Here is how it turned out:
- I started with a Crumb Cake card base and added a layer of Everyday Happiness DSP.
- I stamped the stone bridge over a river scene in Memento ink, on Basic White cardstock and coloured the image in with Stampin' Blends Markers: Balmy Blue combo, Granny Apple Green combo, Crumb Cake combo and a little Pool Party light.
- I die cut the scene out with the largest oval die.
- I die cut an Early Espresso frame with the frame die and cut a rectangle to fit behind the frame from Cloud Cover. I embossed it with the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder and glued it behind the frame. This was adhered to the card front.
- I adhered the oval with the coloured image to the center of the frame.
- The sentiment, from the Sweet Blooms stamp set, was simply stamped on the DSP in Memento ink.
- The whole card took me 9 min. 51 sec to complete, so as usual, I just squeaked under the 10 min. limit!

Isn't it odd how, once you retire, time seems to just run out. I often wonder how we fitted in an actual job! Anyway, your speed scene is gorgeous, especially framed like this. The strong dark frame really draws you into the scene. :-)
