(Less Than) 10 Minute Birthday Card

I recently came across a new challenge; the 10 Minute Craft Dash at Pretty Pink Posh. You are supposed to make a card pertaining to that week's theme in 10 minutes or less. I've never actually timed myself while making a card so I thought this would be a fun challenge though I discovered it is nerve racking to see that clock sitting there so I had to stop looking at it!

Here's my finished card.


Per the rules of the challenge, you can pull on all of your supplies that you think you might want to use before hand so I did that and I'm sure that saved me time. Per the rules, you can also draw a sketch before hand of how you think you want your card to turn out. I've never drawn my own sketch before but I went ahead and did that too.

I stamped the quote from one of my favorite stamp sets, Kids' Quotes by Inkadinkadoo in the middle of the card and filled in background in various colors to create "confetti" using two of the stamps from the Loves Me, Loves me Not set by Technique Tuesday.

I made this card in.


The bow kept giving me problems but in the end I love how the card turned out.
