just because....

Hello friends!!!  Have a little card today for the current Dynamic Duos challenge.  The layout is based on Chupa's current Sketchbook Saturday sketch and boy oh boy did I give myself a challenge when I combined the two!  I spent quite sometime on this card to make the monochromatic color combo with the sketch, but in the end I think I succeeded quite nicely.



 
 
I used a favorite Taylored Expressions set called Make it Amazing.  The set is full of lovely butterfly images and beautiful sentiments.  The other thing I like about the set is that it has a set of matching dies which I used for the card.  Initially I had some patterned paper in the mix, but in the end got rid of it because it just wasn't working for me.   This was one of those cards that as I was putting all of the elements together I wasn't too sure it would work, but once I had the card completed I really liked the overall effect.   Thinking about putting this into one of the Moxie Fab challenges... the asymetrical challenge.  What do you think?    ETA:  Decided to pop this into the above mentioned MF challenge!

Thanks for stopping by....
