Well I know they said they weren’t expecting perfection, but I’m sure they would prefer a project that didn’t have ink smears all over it. LOL! After thinking about what to make and laying out the idea so I could see if it would work, I gathered all my supplies, set out the timer and began. First I cut the frame a mixed edge rectangle set by Essentials. Then I cut my PP (a 6×6″ origami paper) to the correct size and glued it to the card front. I then glued the frame leaving the center piece ready for stamping. The larger sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece, heat embossed then cut and added underneath. So far so good and I am way ahead of my time schedule. Easy peasie, Ha – famous last words actually. So I stamped and heat embossed my dog and the small sentiment even remembering to use my eb buddy which I, oh so often, forget to use. I still managed to get powder where I didn’t want it and no time to fix properly. Still ahead of schedule and thinking this is going well … I managed to colour in the little dog and pizza slice using pencils and Sakura Glaze and I’m well within the time frame. Here is where it went wrong – I stamped 3 tiny hearts on one side of the pup and 2 more on the other side. Completely forgot to dry the ink, turned it over to add glue started to add it inside the frame and OMG, horrified to see I had smudged the ink. 1 minute left to go and I can’t get rid of the smudges so I stamped a few more hearts to try to cover it up. I also added 2 hearts to the bottom sentiment. 43 seconds left on the clock and I decided to leave well enough alone as, for sure, I would have ended up with rubbish had I tried to erase any marks. If the card isn’t humorous my efforts certainly are!

Cute card! I didn’t notice the smudges till you mentioned them. I was zeroing in on the dog and the humorous sentiment.

LOL…Johanna, reading your process in the timed challenge is as much fun as your card. That was a lot to do in under 10 minutes. The image is adorable and funny, too. I had to look for your ink smear. Not that noticeable at all.
So much fun!

I love the story of your creation! Ah, the way things can conspire against us, especially when we rush! I hadn’t even noticed the smudging until I read about it. Great sentiment. Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It for the adrenaline-inspiring speed challenge.

Sometimes I think doing the story is almost more fun than making the card, but I do enjoy your challenges and find a speed challenge a lot of fun.

What a cute, fun card Johanna. I loved reading about the process. With the puppy looking kind of sad I think the ink smears are perfect. Love that sentiment.

It’s a great card even with some smeared hearts, which really isn’t too bad and hadn’t been noticed until I went back and looked after reading your fun description. I’m figuring you went back and cleaned them up afterwards.

Oh, Johanna! I complete sympathize with your situation! I don’t know if you read my blog post, but I had to start all over again after some unforeseen catastrophes with my speed project this week, too! But your pizza-eating pup and that cute sentiment take all the focus off a few little ink smears and it is, after all, a speed challenge! Thanks for getting your adrenaline pumping at As You See It Challenges!
