Excellent! Time for another speed challenge at As You See It #373 - and it's all about tulips! Can I do them in 10 minutes or less? I knew right away I wanted to use my favorite tulip set for sure - 2018's Tranquil Tulips! I never get tired of it, even with no dies or punches! It has no sentiments, though, so I pulled the Banner Sayings set, and its punch. I love that you can choose from multiple fonts for the cute little sayings, and then you have a choice of 3 banners with the punch, too! I set up all my stamps on blocks, opened my punch and stood it up for easy grabbing, and set out my layers and envelope. Time to start the clock! I started with the stems and leaves, and immediately realized that I need to re-ink this pad, lol - my other one is in a class set up right now. Oh well! I went to the blooms next, and I had set up the two-step stamps on both sides of their blocks for quick turnaround. Last up was the sentiment in black on a Granny Apple scrap, and on to the punch. Stuck it all together, threw on some Flat Pearls - all done! 5 minutes and 23 seconds - not too shabby! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy tulips (or other bulbs, lol) - meet you at the challenge! Banner Sayings & Tranquil Tulips (retired 2018) Stamp Sets; Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Granny Apple Green, Strawberry Slush & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Three Banner Punch; Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls; #AYSI373.

I think you did a wonderful job with the tulips even if your ink pad wasn't inky enough---it looks great from here! Love the embellishments too!

Those tulips are just gorgeous Heather, and I love the soft effect of the leaves, despite your ink pad playing up!

It is a great set, Heather. I found out that I'd sold my tulip set when it came time to do this challenge! The colours are great - very vibrant tulips - and I think that a dry(ish) ink pad can be an advantage over a too inky one. Nice sentiment - maybe I need to have a look at that bundle. :-)

Heather I love this set too (I think I still have it somewhere) - those tulips look great, despite your ink pad issue (always on a speed challenge though, right?!)
