Shades of Gray for AYSI#175

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back for another Card!

At first I wasn’t going to do this challenge, but the 10 min. time limit, intrigued

and challenged me…I pre-cut everything and then timed myself putting it all together.

I wasn’t sure of the parameters of the time limit, so I used 10 mins. to pre-cut the

butterfly and the layers for the front and inside…I have a chart with graduated sizes,

that made for sizing the DSP easy!

I then set my timer and started to assemble my card…DRAT!, it took 14 mins.!

 

Here is the Challenge from

As You See It #175

 

Here is my Card!

I also have to add another minute to the clock…I decided to add the gray banner,

after the card was finished! I cranked the Big Shot so fast!!!!

 

Here is the inside of my Card!
