Welcome to our first day of previews of our newest stamps being released this month at The Craft's Meow! Today we're introducing 2 stamp sets by our newest designer, Clare Buswell, and I know that you will love her designs! Being the flower lover that I am, I couldn't wait to get these ones inky!
Her first set today is called Potted Garden. She's included 2 floral motifs and 5 sentiments in a lovely font. Here's the card I made:
I chose this bucket of geraniums and colored the image with markers before cutting it out. Then I found some washi tapes in the same colors and arranged them on my card front, popping the image above them. All that remained was to stamp my sentiment. (don't you love Clare's mix of fonts?)
Clare's next set is called Cottage Garden, and it's one of our big sets, including almost any garden flower you can think of, 7 different sentiments, again in a mixed font, and she even thought of other details like butterflies, a garden bench, and stones to mix in with the flowers! I chose these hollyhocks for my card this time, and stamped a panel full of them, again coloring them with markers.
Please visit The Craft's Meow Blog today to see all the other fantastic samples that my team-mates made using these 2 sets, and while you're there, don't forget to leave a comment by 8:00 PM PDT for a chance to win these 2 amazing sets!
And please come back to visit me tomorrow as we continue the previews all week of our new stamps! Thanks for visiting!
Oh my gosh Lin, love both cards but have to say, how you used the washi tape on the first card, is just beautiful, love it.
ReplyDeleteLove both your cards Lin - so pretty! Especially the hollyhocks... (looks like you masked stamped them?). I dream of a gorgeous cottage garden where I can grow lots of them! Rx
