Well anyway there I was last night at my craft desk trying to make a decent looking anniversary card for Ians parents in less than 10mins as that was pretty much all the time I could stay awake.. and you know I was rather pleased with the results. (Please accept my apologies for the poor quality photograph but I had to take it this morning before it went into the post and the light was even worse than I thought it was.. this is the result of some serious photoshop messing..you should have seen it before!!)
Why is it that you can pull together something pretty simple but really effective from the stash you can find lying on your craft desk but when you have all the time in the world no inspiration comes? Annoying but very true..in my case anyway!!
The backing paper is from my not yet released download which I will be back to tell you about in a future post and the chipboard heart is covered with a paper from my CD Funky Daze (which you will be able to see more of next Tuesday at 11am if you tune into Ideal World) The ribbon and buttons were all just sitting lonely on my craft desk and they worked perfectly!
Now I'm off to sit in my craftroom and spend another few hours trying to come up with demonstration cards that wont be half as nice as my 10 min creation!!
I didn't realise that todays challenge on Daring Card Makers Challenge Blog was to include a heart on your card..I must be psychic.. get yourself over there and join in!
Speak again soon.

ReplyDeleteChocolate is just so in now!!! And all the better for not being the real stuff!!
ReplyDeleteDo like the card!!
It's lush Anice! My card this week was a real quickie too (although it maybe took 15-20 mins as opposed to your 10!). xxx
ReplyDeleteAnice this is really gorgeous hun and i wouldnt have thought it only took ten mins, its so elegant, have a great weekend hugs Pops x x x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Anice........and yes, I can relate to speedy cards and messy desks ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done for coming up with such a beautiful card in such a short time. x
ReplyDeleteThat card is lovely, I cant believe it only took you 10 minutes!
ReplyDeleteI hope they like it!
I know exactly what you mean Anice. I call it OMG I have too much stash to choose from Syndrome. Your card is Fab! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Anice. Pulling it together so quickly deserves a medal and what a result - it's funny how sometimes it all works so quickly and other times you can sit ofr hours and make a load of tosh - well, I can, anyway1
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI love your 10min creation it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI totally get your situation & had to chuckle, as I get the same from my hubby...I call then 'Can you Just's'.
He usually gets in from work & says 'Can you Just' make a card for someone at work? I told the guys not to bother buying one & that you would make one for us all to sign. Oh by the way I am sorry but I need it for tomorrow....
aaaggggrrrhhhhh
Very elegant card Anice, love buttons and the heart is gorgeous. Cant wait to see your new download

This is lovely - great card. Love the buttons
ReplyDeletebeing reminded of a card you said yes to making and having to do it the night before has happened to me on a few occasions. So I know exactly how you feel. I have to say your card looks fab and I wouldn't have guessed it took you 10 mins at all.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card Anice, I love the colours that you’ve used
