I created this card on Friday for the Splitcoaststampers Limited Supply Challenge. The challenge was to create a card in 30 minutes or less. This one took 20 minutes. One of the ways I create super fast cards is by using the same basic layout with designer paper. Then I add a solid image or a line image like this one but I keep the coloring to a minimum. I add embellishments to dress it up. One other fast trick is the paper piercing is done with the sewing machine. Hope you like it!
Stamps: Singing Swirly Bird (Cornish Heritage Farms CDD-1615E)
Paper: Baja Breeze, Beacon Hill (daisy d's)
Ink: Black, Baja Breeze, extra ink for heavy sponging
Accessories: Buttons (Basic Grey-Periphery), wide clip (SU!), 5/8 baja breeze striped grossgrain ribbon (SU!), sewing machine, rectangle scallop nestability (Spellbinders), aqua painter
