IBSIC #10 - Just Because

Edited - I made Top Three at IBS with this card!

Inspired By Stamping has a GREAT sketch challenge going on so I decided to play.  What I LOVE about Joanna's sketches is that they include a lot of detail so you can just layer away to your heart's content!  I was pretty literal with this one.
Here is my card for this week's sketch challenge:

I was very fortunate to win a prior sketch challenge and that one had blog candy!  So this BEAUTIFUL stamp and frame are from Joanna's store and the set is called Small Fancy Labels 4.
Here is a close up of the stamps I used from the set:

This is going to be a Birthday card for a friend of mine!
THX for stopping by.  Let me know if you like this card!

I absolutely love this card, it's a great sketch and you've certainly worked your magic with it. I love the colours you've used, not your usual choices but you've certainly rocked the look. Those adhesive pearls are so precious, a stunning card.

P.S I always have to giggle when I see the pic of your beach mishap in your sidebar :)
