KSS - Ten Minute Monday

My 10 Minute Monday Challenge this week requires you to use the Kitchen Sink image of your choice and stamp a row of it diagonally across your card front. Then add the diagonal embellishment of your choice and a sentiment below that. What could be simpler? I think you will find this one layer, clean and simple design fun and easy to complete!

When you upload your challenge card to the Kitchen Sink Gallery, please use keyword 10MC5.

You may use any papers, any tools, any embellishments you like as long as your card is completed in 10 minutes. Here is my first card for the challenge. I will add more as the week progresses!

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!
