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
Just like yesterday, there are prizes up for grabs:
  1. Happiness is... stamp set
  2. Prize Package donated by My Mind's Eye from the Lush 2 Turquoise Collection!!! Includes one each of the patterned and flocked papers shown, plus all the accessories!!! Thank you Nick!!!
  3. Maya Road The Sweetest Days Shadowbox Kit!!!
Once again, the prizes will be awarded based on random drawing from the comments left on THREE of the Team blogs listed below! You won't know whose blog has the prize... neither do I, actually, until I draw from a hat...so you'll want to leave a comment on each blog for more chances to win. But please play fair... only ONE comment per blog!

You have until 11:00 pm Pacific tonight (April 29th) to make the rounds! The winners will be announced in tomorrow's post.

Here's the TCM DTs' links for more card samples and a chance to win!
For more chances to win, make sure you become a fan of The Craft's Meow's Facebook page. TCM will give away all 4 new sets per 100 fans!

    As I am hopping about...this definitely is a set you can practice your colouring on. I love the 2nd project especially. The 1st flowers are so bold and vibrant. Well done.

    Oh Nina I am so enjoying your releases - they are beautiful. Being with family before DGD's first birthday and dedication I do not have time to do the blog hop. Be assured I am breaking the 10th commandment over these stamps :-)!!

    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 :)

    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.
