Dashing


My father's wise winter advise was to never taste the colored snow, but he didn't mention anything about the sparkly white snow! You know, the fresh fallen, sun glistening, beautiful freshly fallen snow that sparkles even in the moonlight? Love that snow.


CAS-ual Fridays has teamed up with the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge for a whole two weeks!


Create a clean and simple holiday creation in under ten minutes! (You can gather your supplies before hand). The sponsor this week is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Link up to both challenges for double the fun, and double the chance to win a gift certificate to CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!


My card took exactly nine minutes and one second to create (I used my handy dandy stop watch on my phone, which I figured out just for this challenge...). I had a cut and folded cardstock base ready as well as some silver snowflakes die cut from the latest Lil' Inker Designs release. I used CAS-ual Friday's Snowflake Greetings stamp set to randomly stamp some snowflakes across the card, along with the sentiment and topped the card with a big, loopy bow from May Arts Silk Ribbon. I finished the card with a bit of Pearl Mist Spray and Silver Studio Calico Mist. Oh, and I rounded the corners at the very last second!

I hope you get a chance to stop on over at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog to check out the dashing holiday inspiration from the Girl Fridays and read about the prize and sponsor!
