The Craft's Meow June Release Preview Day 1: Beautiful Rose

The Craft's Meow

Here we are at day 1 of The Craft's Meow June release previews!  Today's stamp set is called Beautiful Roses, and it's designed by Nina B.  There are 3 wonderful images (all with roses), and 3 sentiments, too; so appropriate for this month of roses!  

For my first card I chose this Rose spray and colored it like my favorite Peace rose.  It starts out a lovely pale yellow, and gets pink edges as it opens.  I remember this rose in my Grandfather's garden next door.


I carried through the pink and yellow theme throughout my card, popping my 2 sprays above a tiny pink gingham edged with adhesive paper lace, and then added a yellow grosgrain bow and one of the sentiments.

For my next card I went about as far away in style as I could get.......I chose the circle motif from the set and then based my card on circles:


I used a sketch that I had pinned on my Pinterest boards, and papers from Basic Grey and Studio Calico, along with a wood veneer arrow.  

Please visit The Craft's Meow blog to see what my team-mates made for you today, and then leave a comment there by 8:00 PM PDT tonight for a chance to win this set .  And come on back tomorrow for another preview of a June release!

I'm not sure that you ever sleep, Lin! How do you do it? These are stunning - flowers are seriously your thing, for sure! Love the delicate feel of the first and the graphic style of the second. You have really demonstrated the versatility of this set.

You are such a versatile stamper Lin! I love the classic "Lin" style of the first card and the graphic nature of the second!
