Down to the Wire

  I have another card for you today. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get a card done for a Challenge that offers a free digital stamp set when you enter (the deadline is Oct 24). 
 
You've heard me mention Doodle Pantry before; but to illustrate how wonderful their digis are, I was able to print, cut and put together the following card in under 1/2 hour--that included the time it took me to reprint the sentiment image because I didn't size it right the first time.  Now, for me . . . that is a HUGE change from my normal "work ALL DAY on a card and maybe finish it" scenario.



Now, to be fair, I didn't sponge any of the edges. I really liked the crispness of the white, so I thought I would leave it "as is."  And, I didn't enhance the colorized swag digi with Copics either. What you see is how it came off the printer.  The DP is from the Christ Your Treasure set;  the Holly Swags are from the Seasonal Swags set; and the Sentiment is from the Holiday Greetings set.  I cut the circles with Die-namics Stax 1 and 2.

 
Yes, that 1/2 hour even included finishing the INSIDE of the card. How wonderful is that.  In fact, I think it took me longer to photograph the card and write my post than it did to make the card.  Oh, I am entering this card in Doodle Pantry's Monthly Digital Challenge #39
 
Keep Crafting,

  2. Teehee, most of my challenge entries are last-minute! But rarely can I make a card as quickly as you made this one -- and definitely not one this pretty!
