Kitchen Sink - 10 Minute Card Challenge #2

Maria has allowed me a little shelf in the Kitchen Sink pantry to post a 10 Minute Card Challenge every Monday over in the Kitchen Sink Forum! If you haven't visited there yet, it is the place to go to experience multi layer stamping at its finest!

For this week's 10 Minute Challenge, I have created a one layer card using reverse masking to create the focal point of the card. If you wish to play along you can use your punches or Nestabilities to create the shape of your choice and sponge ink on the inside edges of the created frame. You will then add the Kitchen Sink image and sentiment of their choice.

When adding your card to the Kitchen Sink Gallery and/or the online gallery of your choice, please use the keyword 10MC2 so we can find it easily!

Here are a few samples I have created to get you started!


Apologies must go out to my dear sister, Liz! This Texas punch was borrowed from her and has never been returned (oops!). Now that she has the cowboy boots and bluebonnets, I know she will be wanting this back!!

  1. Even as an Aussie I recognised your Texan imagery Lynn. Can't imagine I could ever have the right pronunciation though.

    I like the carnations image too. It's funny but when we love things we tend to use them over and over, don't we?

    It will be great when we can have Kitchen Sink stamps here in AUS.

  9. What a great idea for framing your images. I don't think I've tried the carnation from the get well bear. My mistake...it's beautiful.
