Thursday 10 minute card challenge

I'm on a roll here, it's the Thursday 10minute

challenge that I've been following on

Sandi MacIver and Carole'Anne Sluchinski's

blogs that they will publicly set up so everyone

can follow and participate in.

This is my second one today, as you can see from

the time on both my challenges.

I did the first one here about 7 hours ago

ok so I got the theme wrong-lets say I was just

practising my 10 min time slot as I have

never timed myself before.

Wish I had a fancy clock like they do!!!

Ingredients:

Embossing powder, embossing gun, embossing surface

(mine is a wooden cutting board covered in foil)

Gold and Silver Krylon pens

Stamps, embossing buddy

Stampin! Up ribbon-Real Red and

Always Artichoke grosgrain,

Stampin! Up double rectangle punch,

Cardstock: Stampin! Up Very Vanilla, Kraft

I never used to think that it was important to

use stamping buddy before applying embossing

powder, but recently I've had to succumb to it and

I am now a faithful user, it saves a lot of heartache!

Not to mention wasted cardstock.

Ink up image with versamark and add gold

embossing powder

Heat with heat tool (not hairdryer!)

I then used a Krylon Gold pen around the edge

of the cardstock to give it an edge

Using a Stampin! Up double rectangle punch

just above the bauble

Thread ribbon through the holes

tie a knot to secure, I tried to cheat and

only tie a bow but it didn't work and the bow

ended up upside down

then a bow (sorry about the blurry picture)

snip off excess

Adhere onto Kraft cardstock

Stamped up sentiment with versamark

and gold embossing powder

hit it with a heat tool

...voila 10 minutes

Here is the finished card using Silver embossing powder

and Always Artichoke grosgrain ribbon

This one has gold embossing powder and

Real Red grosgrain ribbon
