His and Hers Day Three/10 Minute Craft Dash#17 - here for you

Day three of the online class His and Hers covered sympathy cards.  I decided to combine this with a new to me challenge, the 10 minute craft dash.  I managed to make the card in under ten minutes!
I think I was more concerned about keeping track of the time and continuing to refresh my phone's screen to check the time! :)  I got my card stock, inks and stamps all ready to go before beginning which is allowed, according to the rules. 
I stamped the flowers from Natural Beauties in Sicilian Blue ink and then overlaid the line image in Birch.  I added the inner embellished dots in Sugar and Fuchsia before gluing down some irridescent sequins.  I think it took longer for me to cut the sequins and adhere them than the stamping!
I added the sentiment onto a piece of spring rain card stock using a Think Big sentiment in Birch and added it on foam dots.  I got this card made in just under the allowed time - 9:42!  Have you ever tried to time yourself to make a card in under ten minutes?  It's a great way to challenge yourself so I encourage you to try it out ...

Supplies:
Paper: Staples 110 lb white, PTI spring rain
Ink: Fresh Sicilian Blue, Birch, Sugar, Fuchsia
Stamps: PTI Think Big, Natural Beauties
Misc: irridescent sequins, foam dots

Hey, how fun to see you here... ;)

Did you have heart palpatations? I usually do...

I used this stamp set one week for the challenge, and nearly had a heart attach because of the multi-step stamping... so way to go for getting it done! hahaha....
