Morning!
I had an idea for another regular feature for my new bloggy, yep its called Speed Craft Sunday.
The idea is quite literally to create a project very quickly-we all have that occasion when we need a card fast don't we.
So here is instalment number 1, i'm actually trying to get ahead with my cards for the next couple of months.
I started with...
My trusty brick wall stencil, some stencil card, Wee Fairies stamps, Wordchain stamps, Wordchain Alphabet stamps, I love those for personalising cards!
I stamped the text first in Cornflower archival ink, it doesnt look very blue in the pic but it is.
Next i stamped the fairies in black, then added a few stars in Buttercup.
I added a touch of colour with my stencil brushes, but didnt add any fresh ink, just what was left on the brushes, nice and subtle that way.
Edge in black sharpie pen and mount onto an 8 inch card blank.
It was so quick to make, i thought id add a touch of colour on the inside too...
Hope you like it!
I found a handful of challenges to enter...

ReplyDeleteLove this Maria! I'm doing a little card workshop for my charity on Friday, so will be taking these supplies with me along with some inspirational quotes - we're trying to beat the January blues by sharing some kindness and friendship in a card x

ReplyDeleteThat brick stencil is just so useful. I love what you have done here with the fairies too. xxx Maggie
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this lovely card. I have been so busy Grooviing that I have neglected my stamps and stencils. I love what you do.X
ReplyDeleteLovely card and such a great idea to have a speed-crafting session - I could definitely do with some lessons in quick makes because, even when I need a card that day ,I still find myself dilly-dallying, faffing about with layout etc!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, thanks for sharing it with us. I am off to check my stencils out, I am sure I must have the brick wall one as I seem to have loads in the folders on my desk !! I am really enjoying reading everyone's blog over the last few days. Only thing is breakfast is taking twice as long !!
ReplyDeleteLove that
ReplyDeleteVery good and sounds easy. Love it xx
ReplyDeleteloving your blogs Maria - between you and Jane you are giving me so many ideas. Intend to spend this afternoon crafting - having a go at the groovi queen plates
