The CASE of a Retro Dash...




LOVE, love this weeks Retro Sketch from one of my most favourite ever cards by Kasia.  Hopefully just squeaked in with this card taking 11 minutes and 6 seconds, rather than the 10 minute deadline over at the 10 Minute Craft Dash.  I can't believe I actually made a card that fast - though I must admit the elements were die cut before I started my timing for its assembly - not sure how that fits in with the rules!  Love this Verve stamp, teamed up with my My Favourite Things die cut umbrella and hearts.  Umbrella, hearts and spots inspiration taken from this weeks gorgeous CASE Study card.  I love that the little hearts look like they are dancing!

A tip for the 10 Minute Craft Dash - to make the process quicker I used my foam dots to secure the twine to the back of the umbrella and hearts and to secure the umbrella and hearts to the page - much quicker only having to use one adhesive!

Now I really must dash or I'll be late picking up my daughter from class ;)

This made me smile :)
