The Craft's Meow Release Day Blog Hop


THIS IS MY 3RD POST FOR THE DAY SO PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO CHECK OUT WHAT ELSE I HAVE HAPPENING!


Woohooooo - it's release day for these amazing stamp sets by Nina B Designs for The Craft's Meow - and to celebrate we're having a Blog Hop! But firstly let me congratulate yesterday's prize winners - listed on our blog HERE. We hope you've LOVED the previews as much as we have loved playing with these gorgeous stamps - our fourth and final set for this release is called "Butterfly Kisses"

Lisa has some FABULOUS prizes on offer for our special day today - check these out....

* Butterfly Kisses stamp set (today's showcase)
* Sarah's Butterfly Kisses card kit
* Lush 2 Turquoise Prize Package from My Mind's Eye!!! Includes one each of the patterned and flocked papers, plus all the accessories!!!

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 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 (May 1st) to make the rounds! The winners will be announced tomorrow on the TCM Blog.

But that's not all!!! One lucky person drawn from all comments made on the TCM blog by 11:59 pm Pacific on Tuesday, May 3rd will win the entire May 1st Release!!! Yep, that's the four stamp sets and two card kits. WOW!!! Oh, and when you leave a comment on the TCM blog today, please let us know what themes/types of stamps and/or kits you'd like to see from us in the future! Thanks!

Now you should have hopped here from Ivana's Blog if you are already hopping - but the fun all stars at The Craft's Meow Blog if you've just dropped in here with a cuppa. And while you're at the TCM blog check out the full reveal of these fabulous sets and Sarah's card kits

For my card I've chosen to use the faux silk technique which involves stamping your image onto tissue paper. This also meant I could orientate the fabulous fairy image the other way around as the ink soaks through to the other side - I think she suited my layout better this way! And if you know me you know I can't let a colouring opportunity go to waste - LOL. So out came my son's Derwent pencils to add some more interest to her wings - I also popped a little fairy dust on them too! The GORGEOUS DP is from Pink Paislee and is one of the papers Lisa has in stock instore - I'm sooo glad she had already cut it for me as I'm not sure I would have had the strength - LOL.

EDIT - click HERE for the link to the Faux Silk Tutorial I used - I apologise for not adding it sooner.
Your next stop on the hop is Jean's Blog and here's the complete list if you get lost along the way....

    The first thing I noticed is the flipped image. How clever are you?? (I believe I may have made that observation before sometime hmmmm??) I love the coloured wings too. The Nestie is the perfect shape to deal with the wing isn't it?? I need to get me some more vintage like DP's (as if I need more DP!!! LOL) Stunning card darl. ooxx
