I have card today that was 'quick to make' using Chocolate Baroque's gorgeous new sets Tranquility and Serenity. I thought this would work for an occasion when you want to cheer someone up or even as a sympathy card.
The background behind the tree and bird was created with alcohol inks on glossy paper. I stamped the tree and bird from Serenity and sentiment from Pretty Poppies with black Archival Ink. The second background was created with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink using the Acrylic block technique. I over stamped with the vine from Tranquility using Seedless Preserves DI.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,
Shirley

A beautiful card love the colors that you have used. Thanks for showing Anneke.
Your black polka dot ribbon compliments the design beautifully especially with your white matting. I love the way your base background brings out the purple colour of the image panel yet has a slight bluish tinge to it too.

Whenever I look at my blogger reading list, it is always your cards that stand out the most.Your colours always grab me and pull me in! This card is lovely and would be a perfect sympathy card!
Wonderful card! Wonderful this background with the alcohol inks and great colours!
Fantastic - wonderful colors.
The background for the focal mat resembles silk, it has a wonderful fluidity to it and such a sense of richness.
Beautiful!

Very soothing & serene, both with your layers of colors and also the pretty stamp. I think this would work for so many occasions, and I liked the "Because I care" sentiment...again - very versatile. Gorgeous, as always. TFS & hugs.
Stunning! You always amaze me, Shirley!
Wow! Such beautiful luminous colors.
I can tell you have a very colorful soul.

This is a beautifully presented card, Shirley, and I like the addition of the spotted bow.
Your card is really lovely dear Shirley...the healing purples really speak to me...that three stamp is fabulous too!
Stay warm...they said that it is warmer in Anchorage, Alaska right now than it is here in the Wash DC Metro area and I think you all are even colder!

Finally got here Shirley phew. I have had a mooch around at what I have missed and everything is stunning as usual. The Zendoodle lady is my fave at the moment but this one is a close second.
