The Craft's Meow June Release Preview Day 2: Kindred Spirits

The Craft's Meow

Welcome!  I'm glad you're visiting to see one of our new June stamp previews at The Craft's Meow!  Today we are debuting a set by Karen Baker called Kindred Spirits.  It's a fantastic set, with flowers that can be stamped in several stages, plus some lovely sentiments to go along with them.  Here's the first card I made for you today:


I put together several of the flowers, a bud, and some leaves, stamped them with colored inks, then cut out my little vignette.  It was simply popped above a doily with some striped paper, ribbon, and I added one of the sentiments in this set.


For this card I omitted the outline stamping to show you that these flowers are just as pretty without it, and give a bit of a water-colored effect when you don't use the outlines.  This one uses my favorite sentiment from this set, bringing to mind the phrase that Anne of Green Gables used often.

Don't forget to visit The Craft's Meow blog to see what all my team-mates did with this new stamp set.  Leave a comment at The Craft's Meow blog by 8:00 PM PST tonight for a chance to win this new set!  The winner will be announced on the blog tomorrow.  And I hope to see you again tomorrow for another preview of one of our other new sets!

    both are so masterful, Lin. Love that color - sort of a cornflower blue, eh? This looks like a fun set. Thanks for sharing.

    Ahhh,I remember Anne of Green Gables well. I have an elementary school friend who was and is my kindred spirit .. we read that book at the same time. Your cards are gorgeous .. that stamp set seems very versatile.
