This card is the second of two I have made for the Limited Supply Challenge on SCS where we are on a time limit - 15 minutes or less (which would come under the catagory of a MIRACLE for me). We are also to use at least ONE item that you received "new" for the holidays and finally to limit the theme to an annual event with all this happening these cards also fit the Ways to Use It Challenge where we are to use TIME as part of the theme for our cards - it could include a clock face image, a calendar, a countdown...anything that will work with the theme of time.
Both of my cards have been made from an old calendar I was given a few years ago, so that covers the 'time' factor - I have recycled the images. My new item is the pearls - I had just run out and had to get more, so am just scrapping in there and the annual event is birthdays. A sentiment just didn't work on the cards so I added 'Wishing you a Happy Birthday' on the inside of the cards.. .
This card has the edges distressed, ribbon added along with a rose and some pearls. I used a Fiskar Border Punch on the lower edge of the DP and added a small pearl to the centre of each scallop!
Both cards were finished in under 15 minutes (each) this is the closest I come to CAS - they feel very bare to me, although I am happy with both of them! It is good to make quick and easy sometimes - it doesn't happen that often for me! LOL!
The edges have been distressed on this image, which has been cut into three and layered onto some green DP. Double stitched ribbon was added, along with a Prima flower and pearls.

I totally forgot about distressing - this looks awesome. It is not bare by any means. It is cool that you recycled too!

Gorgeous! You know what this card is saying? "Oh, I am soo distressed!" Yes, that is what it thinks, but in Card Land, that is a good thing! Beautiful job Sistah. LYMI
