Sequins in under 10 Minutes

I decided to combine the 10 minute craft dash with the Papertrey blog hop. At the last minute - as so often....Well, that happens, when you have to work all day, as I had to do yesterday, too...

the requirement at Papertrey is sequins. I happen to have a few, that I have never used. So I quickly threw this card together - I was in Yoga class earlier and thought the entire time about how to compose this card...Amazing, what yoga is good for....


I made a quick grid with pencil, used a flower from the Papertrey Beautiful Blooms set and a Michaels sentiment. I made this card in exactly 9 minutes and 50 seconds. Puhhhh, that was close.....Its a little off center and the sentiment is a little off, too -  oh well...otherwise I would have gone over the time limit....

Love the grid & color palette - I can completely relate to planning a card while doing something else!

Was, bei dieser Challenge hat man nur 10 Minuten um eine Karte zu machen!!!
Wahnsinn, mir wird die Zeit schon knapp wenn wir bei der Bastel-Elfe nach Sketch arbeiten und da haben wir 90 Minuten...
aber wenn ich da alles richtig verstanden habe, darf man sich vorher schon alles was man dazu braucht herrichten und es wird nur die Zeit gerechnet, die man zum basteln der Karte benötigt! Stimmt das so?
Da hätte ich doch direkt auch mal Lust mitzumachen :-)
Du hast dich gut gehalten und deine Karte ist super geworden!
