Good News! I got two really quick cards on video this weekend. Bad News! It gets dark so early now that it is hard for me to get them done in Natural Light. So - you will see that they both have some shadows and don't show all the sparkle that is on the cards. That said they are done!My goal in my videos is to keep them as quick as possible.
