This is my card for today's limited supply challenge. I love these challenges because no matter how much I want to add, I have an excuse not to. And believe me, I always want to add something.
As far as quick, this one actually was fairly quick (for me, anyway). Let me explain: quick is a relative term to me. As in quick (only took 2-3 hrs) as opposed to took a while (took 5 hrs) or kinda involved (took all day). But hey, that's just me. My idea of a 10 minute card is one that I made all the pieces sometime in the past and today all I had to do was glue it together.
So this one was pretty quick. One ink fits all. One main image and one really large background stamp. I did add a few layers and Did the Dots (I'm calling my fascination with adding dots to borders, Doing the Dots), with a couple of colors of glaze pens. Did a little sponging around the edge of the bg.
I did stamp the geishas twice and colored the leaves and umbrella with markers, cut them out and popped them up on top of the original. But that's pretty much it. TFL and for reading all my explanations.

Beautifully done and beautifully coloured! I love your explanation about quick being relative and I can relate so well, lol! I am not a fast stamper either and things seem to take me forever, but your card is wonderful!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
