Orange Light

As You See It's challenge #160 was the first time I've attempted a speed challenge, and I took the bloggers at their word and prepared before I started - my craft table looked like I was preparing for surgery. I regretted deciding on masking the card for the background cross (in fact, I confess, I had to start the whole thing again - does rehearsal count?). Anyway, I was a few seconds over in the end, but I'm still counting it!
And fortuitously, the colours of this challenge (shades of orange and neutrals) matched up with Color Throwdown's Challenge #464 - so I got double the entry for that stress!
Here's the card:

Made using:
Stampin' Up card: Whisper White, Tip top Taupe, Cajun Craze, ink: Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, stamps: Make a Medallion, dies: Layering Circles

  2. Goodness! The preparation for surgery paid off! So lovely - that ornate medallion against the open space. I don't think I'd have attempted a speed challenge that included both an ornate layered stamp AND masking, so all kudos to you. And no, I don't think rehearsals count! Thanks for joining us at As You See It.

  6. Wow! Lovely job on the medallion! I don't know how you completed that anywhere near the 10 minute challenge! I love your comparison to preparing for surgery! That had to have paid off! Thanks for trying our speed stamping challenge at As You See It Challenge!
