We had plans for the rest of the day and up to to now I haven't had chance to enter in the February challenge at Country View Challenges which is a Time challenge - 30 minutes or under!
I got myself all but ready and then sat down at my desk just after 10.10.
I had my journal opened at a page ready but nothing else, not to worry, everything is in labelled boxes and within reach!
First I made some ground for my plants to grow in - this was done with home made stamp and I first used a quick blending of Paper Artsy Guacamole and Limelight Fresco paint - it dries in super quick time and while it did this I picked out my stamps - a leaf from PA's Elenazinskiart and chose a quirky Lavinia pod set. It was going to take too long to make a sky in the same manner so I grabbed an acrylic block that I had been using yesterday and still had some dried Stormy Sky on it so I added some Blueprint Sketch and spritzed it and pressed it onto my page.
I stamped the leaves and pods and coloured them with Distress makers and then blended with a water brush - Whoops! the red went over on one of the pods - time running out I decided that rather than try to paint it out I would make a pink shadow down all of them! Just enough time to grab another go to stamp from Lin Browns ELB22 set - only needed one line which I coloured with Black distress marker
So…finished with just over 3 minutes to go…and I had time to take a photograph before dashing off to my appointment. Unfortunately my desk was left in a bit of a mess…as I found when I got home late this afternoon!
I would like to enter in…

Lovely page! It's fun to create the sky that way and I love the defination of the splatters you've created and the pod stamp is adorable :-). Wishing you a great weekend! J :-)
I spent the past two days out of town with my friend Kathy, so I've been MIA. I just got home and rushed over to see your latest artistic beauty.
We agree on ink pens. Those Sakura Microns are the best. But I've ruined five of them by using them on paint. So I have to be careful where I write, now.
Your entry is fantastic. I love the stamp you made and the beautiful ones you used on your latest journal entry. The background is great and the stamping is always superb. Love it all!
Long time no see! This is a very sweet little scene you whipped up in under a half-hour! I may try to jump in... I love time-efficiency, and usually for me and crafting that means "stages", but I kind of love the idea of just getting something completed in 30'!
Yay what a masterpiece in so little time, brilliantly put together Chris. Have a great weekend xxx
Love how this came together Chris. Handy not washing inks and being able to refresh them. Great background and choice of stamps. Love it! Thanks for joining in with us at Country View Crafts. X
oh wow,love your lovely page,the flowers are georgus.
happy sunday.
hugs jenny
Lovely art, and proof that it doesn't have to take a long time to create!
Good Fathers Chris - this page is absolutely wonderful - it takes me 10 minutes just to sit down, another 10 to collect my thoughts and then at least 10 minutes to test stamp!
