Flower shop - 'Just because' ...

hi all and Happy Bank holiday

again - I find myself not working this bank holiday - so what do I do, spend all Saturday working in the garden and all Sunday cleaning windows and paintwork.

uhm  on reflection - I might have preferred going to work!

but that's the reason behind my card - after all my endeavours outside I think I justifiably deserved a play with cards and inks inside once I had finished.!
...hence the sentiment..  'Just because'  - and I thought very apt in the circumstances.

Am going to link it to the current ColourQ challenge #239 of Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral,  Pretty in Pink (I substituted Blushing Bride) and Old Olive as this was the inspiration behind  my colour choices.

 

I also thought I would link it  to the current challenge over at Less is More where they want to see us use either Three Colours   or  Three Shades of One Colour

It's a mix of  stamped and punched flowers from the Flower Shop stamp set, the punched one I popped up on dimensionals, a bit of sponging and corner cutting for emphasis,  and a few candy dots to finish and ended up with this.

I  hand cut the label for my sentiment,and 'just because' really sums up how I felt after all my hard work - no real reason for a card - i just wanted to - my way of relaxing !

 What do you all think?

Although it is quite a departure from my more usual fussy style, couldn't quite leave it it at that - so just had to put something inside as well -
