Today, over in the Hero Arts Flickr group, Martha hosted the 19th, 90-Minute scramble. It was one of the best yet with so many entries and an awesome theme! She asked us to make a card that had at least one side without a straight edge. But that's not all. Oh, no. . . .she also wanted us to use all of our favorites. Our favorite Hero Arts stamp(s) our favorite colors, our favorite embellishments and our favorite technique! I must say, it was a blast grabbing all my favorite things and creating at a feverish pace!
As most of you will guess, I chose pink and green. I used two of my fave stamps from Hero Arts, the Hydrangea and La Letter. I remember loving the Background Layered Technique that Shari showed us on the Hero Arts blog back in May and knew I wanted to use that too. I love Hero Arts pearls, so that was an easy choice for my embellies. The only thing I had to decide on was an edge. I cut the Hydrangea so that a small portion of it would be hanging off the edge.
If you've never participated in a 90-Minute Scramble, you must give it a try! They are so fun and really get your juices flowing! Here is the master schedule. They usually have one, every two weeks.
Thanks for coming by and Happy weekend! :)

Great card Barb! I love how you stamped the La Letter stamp over the Hydrangea. So pretty! The pink pearls were the perfect embellishment. I'll have to try one of these scrambles, it looks like lots of fun.
Barb, this is gorgeous! I love the Hydrangea cut out around the edge, and the colors so pretty!
Oh, Barb! This is so amazing - great colors and perfect flower. Great idea to cut out the flower. The white lettering provides just the right amount of contrast, too. Lovely!
This is just so pretty! I LOVE the way the flower hangs off the edge- it's a great look!
Barb what a gorgeous card. I wish that the times where better or I didn't need to sleep ;) so I could play occassionally xoxoxoxoxo
Hi Barb, your card is gorgeous, stunning, and elegant--you did an awesome job. I love how you cut part of the flower to make it hang off the edge. Hope your weekend is going great. Hugs to you.
Fabulous card Barb ~ scramble was way too early (4.00am) for me but so glad you had fun.
I can't believe you finished this masterpiece in less than 90 minutes. Amazing! And you used 2 of my favorite HA stamps too, I love how you combined them and used your "go-to" color combo.
Thanks for always keeping me inspired, sweet friend!
Gorgeous, Barb! I love those stamps, too and the cut around the edge is so clever! Saturdays are always a tough day for me to participate; I was gone most of the day!
