The weather has been beautiful here most of the time, it's wonderful after our tough winter and cold start to Spring. I've been very busy and haven't had as much 'crafty time' as I would like, but have a 'quick make' to show today. This card would be suitable for a man, I used a fabulous vintage set of stamps by Chocolate Baroque.
The background is again using Distress Inks with an Acrylic Block. The images are from Eccentric Edwardian, except Best Wishes which is from Loving Sentiments.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day,
Shirley

I love this card Shirley, and the lovely colours and the script and pocket watch in the background together with the gent on the vintage cycle make this a smashing male card. Hope you are having a good weekend. x
A stunning card Shirley, I love the colours and stamps you've used. It would make a super Father's day card which is next weekend here in the UK. You've also just jogged my memory that I needto make a card for it too. Glad the weather has has improved for you.

Hi Shirley, so lovely to visit here after being MIA for a while. Certainly enjoyed the beautiful garden banner. I expect you are very busy in the garden after your brutal winter, and I can just bet it is doing your soul good to get out & work outside. Am so loving the background of this wonderful card with the fab CB stamps. As always, your cards look like mini-masterpieces. Beautiful. TFS & thanks for your sweet comments on a recent visit. No worries about visiting, I surely understand. I'm woefully behind, still playing catchup with my energy reserves too. Hugs & Happy week ahead.
I love the colors on this man card, Shirley! It reminds me of copper that has oxified or whatever your call it, just gorgeous! I've been really behind on visits, too, now that spring is here and my sister was here. I've really enjoyed scrolling back through your beautiful cards I've missed even though I haven't left comments on them.
Enjoy the gardens! I hope your iffy plants make it back after their tough winter! Thank you for stopping in and congratulating me on my milestone! I appreciated that! Hugs, Darnell
This is gorgeous Shirley! Love the colors! Great masculin card!
Have a nice day! Linda
Oh what a nice card dear Shirley. I like the look of these injected colours. The brown colour is a fine contrast to the fresh turquoise. Lovely stamps too.
Dear Greetings
