The quickest card I've ever made

This has to be the quickest card that I have ever made. I needed a card last night to take to my church secret prayer partner. We had the revealing of names last night. CDAC has a new challenge called the 1-2-3 Challenge. To participate in this challenge you must use a digital image, a flower, dp, and bling. With this in mind I went to my flash drive to see what I had. Low and behold I found some interesting digital elements. I have no idea where I got these, I just remember that they were free downloads. I found really nice paper and a really nice sentiment with a flower on it. I'm like "Aha! I can use those. They look like they match." I printed them out and they looked okay together. I did decide to reprint the paper on semi gloss photo paper. That improved the quality of the look. I cut everything out. I used an old corner punch from Creative Memories to cut the corners of the sentiment and matted it with dark green cardstock. I took a craft knife and cut around part of the doily and circle in the lower left of the paper. I then took some self-adhesive lace ribbon and laid it across, tucking it under them. I mounted it on cream cardstock. I used foam dots on the sentiment, put a paper flower from Mulberry Street Paper Flowers on the doily with a pearl in the center. The flower bling is from Creative Charms. I added white dots to the centers with a pearl pen from My Paper Pen. All in all, I had somewhere between 30-45 minutes in the card. That included looking through the flash drive and printing everything (along with some other digis to use on a card I want to do this weekend.) I was thrilled. It usually takes anywhere from 2-4 hours for me to design a card and put it together.
