I received the original Watermelon Card as a swap from Convention. As usual I made a few changes. The most notable being the stamp set and Designer Series Paper. I did not have the Kind and Cozy Stamp set and I had run out of the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper AND my class was the next day. So I downloaded the digital versions and printed them out! You cannot tell the difference! All my customers were impressed when I compared the “REAL” Gingham Garden scrap with the printed Gingham Garden. So if you are in a hurry and can’t wait for it to be delivered, Download the My Digital Studio version!
