Under 10 Minutes!

I learned about a fantastic challenge this morning. It's a ten minute craft dash over at Pretty Pink Posh.  The current challenge is anything goes but the goal is to create under 10 minutes! Let me just say it is a challenge for me because I tend to be a slow crafter and want to clean up as I go....but not for this challenge. I played hard and fast and left my craft area messy as I went along. I started  by punching sunflowers, using an EK Success punch and brown Coredinations Pure Chocolate cardstock. I backed the sunflowers with some yellow card stock from my scrap pieces and trimmed around them with scissors.  I added a Elmers Glue Dot under the centers of each flower and cut stems and leaves from the chocolate cardstock.  I mounted the flowers on Echo Park This & That cardstock, added the brown ribbon and used colored pencils to add detail to the flower centers, petals and leaves and it was done.  During this whole process I had a little timer running next to me.  When I shut it off it read:

8:2367 which is very fast for me!  

Thanks for this wonderful, fun challenge!  I especially liked the "anything goes" part and felt that it was a great way for me to create a simple, cleaner card. (Now I'm off to clean up the mess I left.)
