16:04. 6:39. 4:52. 5:44.
The time it took me to make cards one, two, three and four. Cuz I was in Watercolor Wonders mode. And I needed to make a set of cards for a girlfriend. And wanted to participate in the Pretty Pink Posh 10 Minute Craft Dash which is part of the Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop over at Altenew.
(I'm taking the two birthday cards over to Seize the Birthday too. Did you see the lovely cards the DT created for the Ultimate hop?)
Ask my kids and they'll tell you one of my favorite Mom phrases is "Practice makes perfect."
CUZ IT'S TRUE!!! Don't believe me? Take a gander at those times again...
Meet card one. 16:04. The splatters were even added afterwards to fill the empty space up top!

So friendly, that I made four more cards. For my stash! Finally following Jennifer McGuire's suggestion to make multiples while your supplies are out! Have a great weekend.

Beautiful cards ! I loved the watercolored artsy look a lot and lovely colors !
Wow! All your cards are so beautiful, Maria. I love the soft watercolor look! Gorgeous design & colors too :)
These are so pretty!
Totally impressed with your gorgeous cards, Maria! I've not tried using distress inks yet (we all know why...sighhh), but seeing yours has sparked "thinking about it". Your times are great! It takes me 20 minutes to figure out the layers (improving...slowly....). Love these!

Amazing cards Maria. And such a beautiful set to give your friend as a gift. I have been trying to make multiples of cards too ... it does save time and bumps up the ol' stash. Always a good thing. :) xx
Wow, Maria! These are all so beautiful! Awesome work. :-)
Karten mit der Stoppuhr, geniales Ergebnis!!
These cards look so artsy and beautiful! I should try this technique sometime :) Thanks for the inspiration Maria! :)
Practice certainly does make perfect. But my favourite is No. 2. There's just something about Pickled Raspberry...
These are all beautiful - 8! Nice!
WOW! You've been rocking this stamp set... fabulous cards, Maria! I've been wishing to buy Watercolor Wonders for a long time, but haven't done it yet, I may be more inspired now... :).
Wowie, Maria! These cards are exceptional - I would never have imagined they were quick to make! Excellent work!
Oh Maria! these are truly stunning!! I love the softness you achieved while still getting nice vibrant color! The black sentiments just pop against your cards without taking away from the soft feel!! woo hoo Bravo!
Thank you so much for sharing your little works of art with us at Seize The birthday!!

Oh wow these are all absolutely gorgeous creations!! I just love the pretty watercolor look of the images!! Thanks for sharing! :)
A quadruple WOWZA, Maria!! These are all sensational!! Hammy is always telling me to make at least duplicates of every card, so I applaud that you made FOUR! Oh, WHY is it so hard to actually DO that when you have everything out anyway??!! Hugs, Darnell
GASPINGLY gorgeous, Maria ... what more can I say ... I'm still gasping! Hugs, Anita :)
Gorgeous
