Just Because....



Another challenge! Another card! My favorite thing to do! Even now, I'm trying to cook supper and do this post at the same time. If I burn the chicken pot pie, my dh may not be so understanding of my paper addiction!

This card is another combination of challenges! I love having a sketch and a color combo all figured out, so that "all" I need to do, is come up with an idea!
    Easy, peasy...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sketch (done by one of my favorite Verve Divas-Amy Sheffer) for the
          Viva La Verve May Sketch Challenge:

And the beautiful colors are from the fabulous  CR84FN Color Challenge:

And this is my creation:


The corners were made with a Spellbinder Shapeabilities Pendant eyelet dies.
as well as the pendant behind the sentiment.
I added some Stickles glitter to give it some sparkle!

I felt it was too bare in the middle, so I hung a silver charm from the bow with some linen thread. 


Thanks for stopping by! I must go finish our dinner!
