The Chocolate Baroque online shop has now been launched and in the What's New section of the website, you will find the great mini stamps and three other gorgeous new sets.
Firstly there are two A5 sized stamp sets Doodle Butterfly and Doodle Birds. The Design Team have been busy road testing these stamps and they are a pleasure to work with. I showed you my birdhouse card last weekend here.
Here is another card I made with one of birds tails from the Doodle Birds set. I shaded the background first using Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Inks that I then splashed with water, to give a more watery effect! Once it was dry, I over stamped in Deep Lagoon Versafne and added darker shading at the edges in Denim Adirondack dye ink. I felt I had made what looked like a ripple effect in water. I added a nestie panel with the sentiment from the Artful Affirmations set. I finished with some little turquoise jewels and ribbon. I love working in this colour scheme.
There is also a new A4 set Butterfly Dreams that is really stunning. The largest stamp in this set needs the large 6x6 inch acrylic block as it's a whopping 5.5 inches square making it a fabulous focal point for a card all on its own. Glenda is doing a lovely random giveaway - giving away one of each set to three lucky winners, but you have to do something in return to be in with a chance. Winners will be drawn at random from comments left on the Design Team blog here, or on all of the Design Team's individual blogs that are linked from the main DT blog, including this one. The more blogs you leave comments on, the more chance you have of winning.
Good luck!

Great idea to use the bird's tails for the background and the shading looks lovely. All of the stamp sets are gorgeous and although I have some of the new CB stamps, I haven't got any of these yet so would love to win.

Your use of the various blues in this made me think of a peacock & I love the way you've used the different inks to create depth.
