My final card today was created for my 10 Minute Card Challenge in the KSS Forum. 

Those of you who have not purchased from Kitchen Sink Stamps may not know that with each order you get a cute(and free) little thank you stamp from KSS. I thought it would be fun for this week's 10 Minute Challenge if we used these stamps in our designs.

So here is the challenge: using any one of your KSS freebies and 10 minutes, create the card of your choice. 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!

Please upload your card for the challenge in the KSS Gallery and include 10MC3 in your keywords.


Stamp: Free Deepest Thanks from Kitchen Sink Stamps
Papers: Bordering Blue, Bashful Blue, and Night of Navy
by Stampin' Up, lime rickey by BasicGrey
Ink: Marina Mist by Stampin' Up
Tools: Martha Stewart Corner Punch
Embellishment: Pearls and Ribbon
