Super fast card with Lost Cost Designs

Hi Everyone,

if you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I went to a craft fair yesterday and got myself some stamping goodies (because I clearly don't have enough, yet....).
And this morning, when I scrolled through blog land I encountered a few challenges that inspired me. So I went into my craft room, to ink up some of those new treasures.


Here is my haul from  Lost Cost Designs. Those are new stamps and I fell in love with them immediately. I think you will see them often in the future. There are a few more - I should have bought them all....


Since I am also playing in the current AAA Challenge I needed to make a quick card. Gathering supplies and planning wasn't included in the time  - you know how you can agonize over a design for a looooong time......


I made a little try out on scrap paper - I do that quite often. Changed the colors a bit and then went to work. Stamping the animals took very little time. I used the party collection from Catherine Pooler for my inks. Drew the strings. I had this piece of Washi tape stuck on my craft table - how convenient. Added the heat embossed sentiment - from a MFT set, that also was lying on my craft table and added the enamel dots. Since I had only used up maybe 13 minutes, I also added the googly eyes.

Brilliant card - love the bright colours you chose to use and the stamps are fab! I love Lost Coast and used to buy from them when they came over to my local stamp show, with Stamp Camp, which, sadly, they no longer do. Perfect CAS :-)

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
