Because I want to...

Tonight, I decided to make a card simply because I found a challenge and wanted to make a card for it! This card is somewhat of a deviation for me, as it is very out of character for me to use so many inks and elements on one card! Of course, as is my norm - it still is apropro for ALOT of other challenges besides the one that inspired it!

The challenge that got me started was from Stamping Vacation, and is called "State your State". I used the state butterfly as my jump off point, and then apparently went mad! ;) Hope you'll let me know what you think of my card!



This card is apropro and may have been entered into the following challenges:

Stamping Vacation - State your State
Stamping with the Dragon - Distressing
