15 Minute Project ... Pretties in Less Than 1/4 of an Hour

I’m not called the Queen of the 15 Minute Project for nothing!

Today’s no-frill's prettie is just about as minimalist as it gets! To be honest with you, “quick” is just a bonus because I really love this look: simple and clean … some might even say Spartan ... I wouldn't, but some would!

This super-quick-to-CASE card was created using my new favorite white card stock, some scraps of black and red card stock, a leftover bit of 5/8” ribbon, two rubber stamped images, and a couple of markers.

I stamped my focal image on Xerox 110# with Palette Hybrid ink, then colored with a Copic (R37) marker and a black Zig Writer marker.

Using the ‘Bug,’ I cut a scrap of Raven card stock with a Nestabilities die from the Large Classic Square set. Using Pomegranate, I cut a scallop using a die from the Nestabilities Large Scallop Square set.

I adhered my ribbon using double-sided tape and mounted the matted stack in the center using dimensionals.

Finally, I stamped my sentiment using Palette ink … all with time to spare!

Ingredients:

~White Card Stock: Xerox 110#

Thanks for visiting!

*PS: Sorry 'bout the crummy photo ... I had to use a dark background so that you could actually see the card ... all the other colors I tried looked even worse ... sooo, I went with black ... I don't like black backgrounds.

*ETA* Hey! I just noticed that the blog counter here has gone over 1,000 visitors! Wowsa, I thought that would take months ... maybe even years! Thank you!

In honor of that milestone, I’m putting together some fun blog candy to give away!!

Because people work, have families, and generally lead busy lives, I thought it would be fair for everyone if the drawing ran over a weekend. Look for the give-away in the next few days, with a drawing on Sunday!

~Hugs!
