This was my first attempt at a timed card, for a 10 minute time limit in shades of yellow for As You See It Challenge. This took me 16 minutes. I also used the Paper Players Tic-tac-toe challenge, choosing the first vertical row (birthday, yellow, patterned paper). The flowers are popped up on dimensionals. Unfortunately it is really hard to see the detail of the border punch in this picture.

Timed challenges are hard and oh my, ten minutes is short! I don't think I could ever do a card in less than fifteen. This has turned out beautifully, I love your flower in the soft yellow, and the layers of matting. Better to take a little extra time to produce something this lovely!
(I know from participating in the VSN challenges here over the last couple of years that practising quick cards does help!)

This is an awesome card, Eunice! I love the way you created the flowers from the big polka dotted paper. And the background stem stamped on the text background is really effective. Thanks for your entry in As You See It Challenges this week!
A beautiful card! Love the popped up flowers, the layers, and how the sentiment is off-center. Thanks for playing along with the As You See It Challenge! Trying to complete a card under 10 minutes is a great stretch for our creative brains! Well done

I love all the different shades of yellow you have incorporated, and that skinny ribbon is just perfect! Thanks for playing with the As You See It Challenge!
Very pretty! I love the different shades of yellow too, and the layered flowers. Thanks for playing along with us this week at The Paper Players, Eunice!
