Serenity

Sometimes you need a serene card, something peaceful and hopeful and soft and pretty. Like this:




A little rock-and-roll of chalk ink accented with a strip of soft fabric combine to offer some gentle encouragement.

I love making cards like this...probably because my life is so technicolor crazy!

Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts
ink: Colorbox Chalk
paper: PTI vintage cream
accessories: fabric, glue dot, corner rounder

    Your card is indeed serene - soothing and peaceful. May I ask the name of the stamp you used? Thanks!

    Hero Arts Leaf Prints. The clear set is discontinued. :(

    Yes, KC, I'd be honored if you pinned my card. Please do it in a way that links back to this post, though.

    I get so annoyed on Pinterest when I click on a pin to see the original source and get a larger version of the photo instead. ;)

    A beautiful peaceful card! I have some chalk inks but never use them - must give them a try as it looks like they do a nice subtle rock n roll technique.

    As you can see from the date of this comment, I'm WAY behind in reading my favorite blog. Life gets in the way sometimes. This has to be one of my all-time favorite cards, although I seem to say that with each new post. I love leaves (when, oh when, will the butterfly craze die????) and green and little unexpected embellishments from simple, unexpected sources. Pure perfection!
