The Craft's Meow - May Release Previews Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of The Craft's Meow May release previews. Today the team are previewing the stamp set - Wildflowers by NinaB Designs. I really love this set, there are two sentiments in a beautiful font, two large flower motif stamps, two bird stamps and a sweet butterfly stamp.

The flowers I colored using Distress Markers. Cardstock is from Core'dinations (from Core Essentials - Brights and Spotted Jillian Dot) Peapod Twine is from SRM Stickers.

For my second card I used the second flower motif to stamp the background paper using Memento Danube Blue Ink. The little butterflies are also from the set, I stamped those in Memento Rose Bud and cut them out. The Satin Ribbon is from Craft Fairy. I used the reverse (debossed) side of Spotted Jillian Dot cardstock from Core'dinations for the lower half of the card.

I couldn't squeeze the birds into my cards today but one of my cards for tomorrow's previews includes one of the fabulous bird stamps. Remember to leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning a stamp set, the deadline to leave comments is 9pm PST.

CASE Study #141

Is it week three at CASE Study already with the amazing Maile Belles as our muse!! Time flies when you're having fun! : ) Check out Maile's fab card this week.

Such a fab CAS card, I stayed pretty close to the color palette (my blue is a bit more in your face!), I stuck with the heart theme, left as much white space as I could (embossing makes it more comfortable for me!) and I cut out my sentiment.

The lovely textural woodgrain heart stamp is from My Heart by Waltzingmouse Stamps and I stamped it using Impress Lemon Yellow, Memento Lady Bug and Bahama Blue. I liked the cool effect of overlapping the hearts while stamping. The 'happy' text is from Say it Loud also from Waltzingmouse Stamps. Once I had it all stamped I ran the Seeing Spots embossing folder over it, using the debossed side.

The 'birthday' sentiment from Say it Loud I stamped in black, cut out and propped up on some foam pads. Ya, so I like how this one turned out, kinda cheery! : )

Don't forget to swing by CASE Study and have a look at the rest of the team's creations. I'm sure you'll be inspired. Thanks for dropping by and I'm really grateful for your comments. Have a great day!
