10 min Fast and Fabulous card for July 10




It's wed again, and that means another 10 min card. I hope you enjoying this series, I'm finding it a lot of fun and am also finding that I really don't have to put so much time into all my cards.
So, how did I make the circle behind the flowers?  I pulled a very old trick out of my bag.  Take a piece of fun foam, and cut to the size and shape you want.  That's getting a whole lot easier, I just used one of my round dies.

But it has gotten a little harder too, I just LOVE the new foam ink pads, but it was not easy to do this using them. They are so juicy and the fun foam wanted to stick, so I found I couldn't put it on a block.
It ends up giving a more sketchy circle, which I think I really like.
Colors:
Whisper White
Perfect Plum
Soft sky

Supplies:
Field Flowers stamp set
Perfect Plum Taffeta Ribbon.   Unfortunately this color in the taffeta has been discontinued.
You might want to pick a color for the card base and flower that you have a matching ribbon for.





Hope you enjoyed todays card, and as always, thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear your comments.

Gorgeous card, Lynn! I have never used the technique that you used for the background. Now I must try it! Thanks for sharing!
