Happiness Is...

Welcome to the second day of previews of The Craft's Meow's new stamps, available for purchase on May 1st. Today, the TCM team is showcasing the Happiness Is set. I had so much fun drawing these images. The set includes line art (perfect for Copic lovers) and solid images. It also has two bee images. They're little, but they took me more time to draw than the flowers. There are several phrases that will allow you to make 4 sentiments.

Here is my first card using the solid images. The papers are again Stella Rose by My Mind's Eye.
Happiness is
For my second card, I decided to use the line art and practice my coloring with Copics.
Just a Note

  32. Nina - these are simply gorgeous! i love that you have both a solid and an outline because although i love to color, i am not very good at it and I don't own Copics or any good markers. I use my son's Prismacolor pencils so I do okay, but sometimes I love to just stamp the solid! I can't wait to see this whole set - these little peeks are killing me :)

  36. Both of your cards are beautiful, Neena! Your coloring technique is very nice, but I agree with Sherry about the look of the first card. I guess it's the bright colors that attract me.
