A just because card ...

Now and again I make a card for no other reason than I just wanted to ! I dont plan to make a card for a challenge or occasion it just happens and cards like this are right up my street ! I love soft neutral/natural colours and a clean simple style, I think the cream and white in this card reflects that, It looks softer than the photo shows and the sentiment reads.

Use the talents you possess - for the woods would be silent if no birds sang except for the best.

I had a look around at this weeks challenges and I will enter it for the following:

Alphabet Challenge : N for Nature

Daring Cardmakers : Make a card for your sister or friend.

Creative Inspirations : Anything goes.

Stamp Scrap and Doodle saturday, Clean and simple

Creative Inspirations Wednesday challenge : Animals
